Index Finger Grip
Strokes
thomas mcnamara Asked 6 years ago
Hi Coach. Your tip about using the ring finger and pinky to secure the grip has helped me immensely, but I still notice my index finger seems to move too much, especially on bigger backswings. Should I concentrate on keeping the index finger stationary to improve control? Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
I am glad the tips on grip are helping.
I think the index finger being stable will also help with control and by keeping it in the lower position it will also allow more flexibility of the wrist and therefore more speed and spin.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
