Hi Alois and Jeff.
I was just seeing a video and I noticed something particular when Ovtcharov do a Backhand Touch.

What do you think about it.

Hi Julio,
For this shot he has his hand in an awkward position and so need to lift his little finger off the handle to twist his bat into the right position. With his little finger on the handle he would not be able to move his wrist and the bat that far around for the backhand shot.

So its similar to a Serve grip?
Hi Julio,
Yes it is similar in that the little finger is relaxed or released from the handle.
