🎾🔥Main Takeaways Of Forehand Grip Pressure Lesson🔥🎾
✔️ 1- I Highly suggests having a grip that enables you to release tension and feel less pressure on the hand. My recommendation is to spread your index finger and getting your hand angled on the racquet as shown in the video.
✔️ 2- When you make your first move on the forehand, I advises using your off hand to release the pressure from your dominant hand. Now, while making contact with the ball, there’s an element of pressure to avoid the racquet falling out of your hand.
✔️ 3- On the finish, I likes to have players take the racquet out of their dominant hand.

A loose grip is the key to faster head speed. A tight grip really only controls your muscle from accelerating but not the ball. A loose grip also prevents tennis elbows. Another true gem(ignored by so many people) from Jeff! I’m sharing this to tons of my friends.

Great point!!! Thank you very much!!! My number was 5-6!!! As an amateur - for decades - I had a problem/question about the grip pressure! I did the opposite - squeezing tight at the beginning and the end of swing --- and loosen the grip at the moment of impact!! I wanted to hire a coach specifically for the grip - I am changing my grip for topspin. Your lesson is super precious for me and at the right time. Thank you!!!!!

@Saxysellig Жыл бұрын

Great instruction. This concept (and its corollary: the looseness of the wrist) has been quite an epiphany and a game changer the first time I heard it in 2019. It fixes "all" at the same time: more power with less effort and less tension, hence less fatigue in the arm and no more elbow pain... Besides, as one of the billions of control freaks on the planet, I like the underlying philosophy of letting go !

@yasim9435 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, Grip should not be loose at contact for many reasons including risk of developing blisters, but hand should be loose as it has to speed up racquet same way whip handle speeds up the tip of a whip. Instruction to think of grip pressure during a stroke is too destructive, it rather should focus on mapping arm +racquet parts to a whip elements : wrist, handle, thong, tip, then it would be more clear which part ( wrist,..) should be loose before contact as after the motion after contact does not need to be controlled but only looked at at for the purpose of checking correctness of motion prior of contact.

If I hold the racquet that loose, the racquet moves around in my hand and I have uncontrolled, jerky contact with the ball, feeling mostly at the base of my index finger and under the tip of my pinkie.

Hola a ver si te puedo ayudar....no se si Jeff habla Español... Seguramente tenias ese grip antes y ahora queres cambiar es una acción refleja subconsciente. Esto podes corregir haciendo ejercicios en situación de control lanzando la pelota y pegando 20, 30, 50 veces al dia...y así vas desarrollando el nuevo hábito(en un curso en España me dijeron que 30 mil repeticiónes para desarrollo de nuevo hábito) Y la otra es que compres un grip corrector que te lo pones entre los dedos y no te permite cambiar el grip.

My guess: Grip pressure doesn't change. High ball: maybe flat w/ full swing. Strike zone ball: topspin, w/full swing. Low ball: slice?

@TennisEvolution 3 жыл бұрын

It can, but depends on the type of ball as well. The main concept is to avoid overgripping the racquet.

On the serve, grip pressure is 1/10 or 2/10. On the volley 1/10 or 2/10 or 3/10, depending on the type of volley -- e.g. if you are hitting a drop volley a 1/10 will absorb the incoming pace. On the forehand, a 3/10. But very difficult to do this as it is tempting to grip tighter as the rally goes longer.
