Western grip is the bestWhat do I do when my hybrid strings break?
I experimented with a western grip and had pretty good results, but I eventually settled on semi-western (knuckles along the 4th bevel). I found that I got a better mix of power and spin consistently with this grip. It was easy to get spin with the western grip, but it was more difficult to hit deeper shots. The spin generated with the western grip also wore my strings out much quicker.When it comes down to it, the best grip is a matter of personal preference; what feels the best and what gives the best results. For me, that was semi-western.
I agree, semi-western works best for me. My coach tried to change my grip to a full western, I tended to be late in switching to my back hand grip.
See what works best for you.
Nadal can become tennis greatest ever,can't he?
I personally prefer the eastern gripI spent some time with the semi-western and western grip, and it was making me too inconsistent, as it was difficult to hit low balls. Switching back to eastern helped me out a lot.
I think the best is to use a slight mix of all grips, use the eastern grip for low and middling balls, and a semi to western grip for higher balls. This is kind of like insurance for you
