Grip problem

Hello Jeff,

First of all I appreciate all your efforts and prompt responses.

I am right handed player with shake hand grip. I have noticed that initially I hold bat very close to start of rubber and handle. When game begins and I play some forehand backhand combination(switching) I lost orginal position where I hold racket initially and my hand moves automaticaly down towards handle. This doesn't make lot impact on my game but I am afraid if I cant hit flicks and some straight smashes with confidence.

What i need to focus on and how I can maintain my initial grip position. I am not sure if any body else is having same type of problem or you heard such problem?

Thanks,

Hi Rajesh,

This is a common problem.  One solution that you can use during training is to put a coin under your index finger.  If your grip changes the coin will drop.  This will keep your focus on having the correct grip throughout the rally.
