Holding bat Loose and Tight
Strokes
DHS Lover Asked 12 years ago
Hi PingSkills
I want to ask about power of holding the bat
some player hold it tightly and some player hold it loosely
is there any effect when we hold the bat with any power? as my coach never lift a heavy backspin ball with vertical movement but he tight his gip and just topspin it horizontal and the ball still can go up
so it seems like there's the different effect with different power when holding the bat
please for the answer :D thank you

Hi Frendy,
I like to keep the grip relaxed. This allows you to do more with your wrist during the stroke.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

is there any effect with tight and relaxe grip for the stroke ? maybe the power or what ?
I think you can generate more power with a relaxed grip because you can use all of the muscles in your body effectively.
