There are a few different grips you use in tennis. The different grips include: the Continental Grip, Eastern Grip, Western Grip, Semi-Western Grip, and two-handed backhand grip. Let's start with the Continental Grip. You would use this grip when you are at the net hitting volleys and overheads. You will also use it when serving. You hold the racquet like a hammer with the "V" of your thumb and index finger on the narrower edge of the racquet grip. You'll want to use the Eastern Grip when you wish to hit ground storkes that are flat or have topspin. Hold the racquet with the "V" slightly off to the right. You'll want to use the Western Grip when you want to use extreme topspin. This grip is a preferred grip of clay court players because topspin rules on clay. The "V" extremely far off to the right. You'll want to use the Semi-Western Grip when you want to add power and you are a baseliner. You can either hit topsin or flat with this grip. The "V" is between that of the Eastern Grip and the Western Grip. It is recommended to have a Tennis professional demonstrate the different grips for you, so that you are doing them properly.

Importance of a proper grip size fit:

A properly fitted grip will improve your control over the tennis racquet, enhancing your performance. A grip that is too small will allow the racquet to twist in your hand and can eventually lead to Tennis Elbow. A grip that is too large will decrease wrist snap on serves and prolonged use can also cause Tennis Elbow. It is easier, however, to build up a grip that is too small, than to modify a grip that is too large. So if guessing, go with the smaller size.

How to choose the right size grip:

Most adult tennis racquet grip sizes range from 4" to 4-5/8", and are at 1/8" intervals in between. The grip size refers to the circumference of the grip, measured in inches. One method of determining your grip size, involves measuring the size of your hand. To do this, place the end of a ruler at the bottom horizontal crease in the palm of your open racquet hand. Measure from this point to the tip of your ring finger. This is your ideal grip size. For example, in the illustration shown here the correct grip size is 4 1/2". If you are between sizes, go with the smaller size. You can always wrap on an Overgrip which typically adds about 1/16". Another popular method is gripping a racquet of known grip size, and observing the gap / amount of space between the fleshy part of the palm and fingertips. It is desirable to have a gap that you can just plug your index finger from your other hand into. If there is a lot of extra space, the grip is too big. If you can't fit a finger in the gap, the grip is much too small. You can extrapolate from there to approximate your correct grip size. Or, if you'd rather print out a measuring guide, click on .

It depends on the shot you are hitting. On a topspin forehand, the taught grip is a semi-western. It provides an easy way to get spin and hit angles. A slice forehand would require more of a continental grip to get the necessary under spin. All backhands, volleys, and serves are commonly hit with a continental grip.

The grip will be very dark and most likely shredded. It will hurt to hold on to and can seriously effect your game. You should try and re-grip your tennis racket once a week or even sooner.
