Jorge Capestany – TennisDrills TV Quick Grip Changes Many players refuse to learn the proper grips for the various shots in tennis because they feel like they do not have enough time to make the necessary grip changes. This can pose serous problem for them down the road as they improve in ability and need to have better and better technique to go even further in the game.
Tip 1: Open your Fingers – After the player hits his shot they should open their fingers like a trumpet player so that they can release the tension out of their hands. If you watch the touring professional closely, you will see that this is something they all do. Tip 2: Use the Opposite Hand – players often make the mistake of trying to make the grip change with the hitting hand instead of simply loosening the grip on the hitting hand and using the non-dominant hand to make the grip change. Tip 3: Do it During the First Step – If you have time to make the first step, then you have time to make the grip change.
