How hard should I grip my bat
Strokes
Trent Argaet Asked 13 years ago
Would changing the pressure of my grip affect the consistency of my game? I'm finding it very hard to keep a rally going.

Hi Trent,
In general it is better to have a relaxed grip. This will allow you to do a bit more with your wrist and hand. Having a tight grip will also tighten your wrist and forearm.
It may feel like you have more control with a tighter grip but in the long run you will find it much better with a loose grip.
Someone should be able to slip the bat out of your hand when you are holding it. Take a look at our lesson on Get a Grip.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
