   RACQUET AND RACKET is just the same just for you to know. If you insist, check the WIKIPEDIA.

   Powerball has helped relieve my tennis elbow and add strength to my wrists and forearms. Visual proof on my channel.

   Let me correct you on that. Its a responsibility for a coach to always show it 100 % correctly… Well, as best as u can.

   salle pedale

   umm, that looks more like a semi western to me … and besides that, the swing path is wrong, regardless what your grips is you never hit the ball with the that open face swing upward … I don’t think he’s certified, you never teach or show a swing where you swinging square and at contact have the face open, thats something a beginner would do …

   it’s a ksix one 95

8. srftache on March 10th, 2010 1:33 pm

   so its a (k)six-one team right? but federer has the tour one…

9. samz0991 on March 10th, 2010 1:33 pm

   its neither. its a ksix one 95. the lite is white at the top of the racquet where the logo k factor is.

    Its only beginning tennis tips… Lighten up…

    I’ve never called the topspin grip extreme western before and yea maybe your right he didn’t exagerate when it came to showing the grip but about 1:04 is accurate enough since most beginners won’t be using topspin in the early stages.

11. srftache on March 10th, 2010 1:33 pm

    no it’s a (k)six-one lite…and federer has (k)six-one tour that have his signature there

15. liampimp12341234 on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

16. killersniper01 on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    that is kinda odd

17. joelyrocco on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    that was a crap video you have no idea on how to teach those grips you didnt even mention the bevels on the raqcuet and the two point on your hand to measure it and the way you held the continental was soo wrong AND WTF AND EXTREME WESTERN one that not a grip and 2 u missed out on the usual semi-western what the hell i never thought anyone could make so many mistakes in one minute u suck !!!!!!!

18. liampimp12341234 on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    i have a very odd forehand grip, my coach told me to use a continental grip for my forehand because jimmy connors used a continental for his forehand so i never have to change my grip the whole game.

19. samfajardo1992 on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    there are different kinds of grips??!!! wow in badminton i only use one..whew it’s hard to learn tennis!!

20. AnIolar on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    The back hand grip shown in the clip assumes you are going to hit topspin back hand. It no use for a sliced backhand.

21. liambannin on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    I grip my raquet with my thumb up the side of the raquet, i dont reccomend doing it, its just comfortable for me.

22. vickyivonne on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    great!

23. arecame9182 on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

24. tenniswh0re on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    he just said that in the vid lol

25. oxXTJRXxo on March 10th, 2010 1:34 pm

    I don’t use a certain grip. I just grip whatever’s comfortable with me.. I probably unintentionally use the continental grip the most.
