Loose Grip of racket
Strokes
Michael Stree Asked 7 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff, I’ve seen lots of your impressive videos that mention the need to have a loose grip of the racket - are there any occasions where’s there a need to have a tight grip of the racket. Michael

Hi Michael,
I think in general the loose grip is vital.
The only occasion may be when you are forcing a block you can tighten your hand a little. The other time is if you are playing with long pimples you may need to vary the tension in your hand for various shots to either relax for absorb a fast ball or tighten slightly to force a softer ball.
