Question
Explain the following term.
Eastern grip
Solution
Flatter groundstrokes are the main application for the Eastern forehand grip. For players to execute an Eastern forehand grip correctly, they must allow their heel pad and index knuckle to rest on the bevel. An easy way to put this into practice is to make an Eastern forehand by placing the palm flat against the strings, sliding down to the handle, and grabbing. Benefits include being among the simplest grips to learn for the forehand and being quicker (easier) to switch to a continental grip for volleying or slicing. Roger Federer, Steffi Graf and Juan Martin Del Potro are prominent athletes who possess this grip.
