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.
