My son junior 8 years old, playing and competing in local ITF academy here in Kazakhstan, they start with eastern grip because you know those red balls bounce very low, and they hit more like Federer, but now they are moving to orange ball which bounce at the level of shoulder and above, and now trainers ask them to do more top spin, so basically they now need to change grip to stay competitive. So my son had to choose between semi western and western, and he chose western, I told him maybe it would be better to use semi western, but he insists on western explaining that its more comfortable for him, I guess he feels that western gives him better control. But what's interesting is that after eastern grip he doesn't know about swing you explained, its so great you showed difference of arm and body motion for these different shots. You are talented and know what you explaining, thank you, sorry if there is any mistakes in my English.

So helpful Coach! My tennis pro tried to change me to a semi western but I hated it. With western, I’ve learned if I go really open stance, I get a lot more power and top spin.

Wish this video was available 2 years ago. It would've saved me about a thousand dollars of coaching money. I for some reasons shifted to full western grip over the years from semi-western. The quality of my forehand got worse and worse because I didn't know that my old technique didn't work with my new western grip. From my coach, I learned two of the three points in this video...contact point has to be more in front and have to make more space to swing the racket around. The western grip doesn't allow late hit and short wrist slap. It has to be a full early swing. After 2 years of practice, I'm getting a better handle on the western grip.

I use an extreme full western grip. My 2 cents is I must go full speed in every shot. Kind of your tip #2. But really wipe the ball. If you hesitate a second then you lose the point for sure. Needs to be fully committed on each forehand.

[PaulWolfe]

Interesting. I did not deliberately choose the semi-western, it just was where my grip settled and felt best. Your explanation makes me see I made the right choice for my swing even if western is better for many.

I absolutely love playing with my western grip!!! For me, the power and spin is so effortless- I actually have to pull back a little when playing for points. I never have pain in my wrists when playing, like I used to when I was using eastern grip. Also I use a hammer western grip versus a pistol western grip- it is much easier for me.

You have explained really nice details about Full western forehand grip. My son's having same grip forehand and more band then western grip. It's his backhand grip only he is using as forehand. But at contact point racket is half close not fully open so lesser power against slow ball, against fast ball it's ok. We are still working on this. Thanks

[dasieser]

Thank you so much for this. I settled on a western grip a long time ago, and don't want to change it at this point. I understand the cons of it, I'd just like to maximize the pros. Hitting more out in front and open stance seems to be key. I'll concentrate on those. I can be "consistent" with my strokes, but they consistently land short in the court. I'll try your tips. Thanks again!

Good video from a coach who doesn't use the grip. I switched a few years ago and it's been great. The grip is best for your wrist. Eastern and Semi Western are stress for wrist at contact. But I found that it's better to have your weight further back at contact. Also, the low balls are not a problem if the ball is in front. If you're even the slightest late, the aim is unpredictable. But I like to buggy whip or angle my arm on low balls like Fed does. I don't like bending down cos it loses power and it's tiresome too. The grip is great because I don't have to switch grips on backhand and I can hit through high balls instead of spinning them.

I like western grip, can get a lot of power with room for error. But hitting a forehand on the run is difficult, and hitting cross court forehands on the run is extremely difficult and opponents may catch on that you have to go down the line on running forehand’s.

[imranahmad]

Going to try this grip after your comment about Thiem’s backhand grip from another video.

[frenzy_]

Didnt even realise I had a full western grip until some people told me that my grip was weird lmao. I feel like very low balls are the easiest to hit tho idk why

[rizwanramzan]

No!!! Use a continental grip!!! Joking!!! Western grip is great for slower balls with a high bounce...but i think Eastern or semi-western grip is more effective...
Btw, this video was awesome for explaining the Western grip!

[overdrive_tennis]

You mentioned there are more tips for the western forehand, could you make another video on this stroke? Thanks. Excellent video

[CAP-mngt]

Sehr gut Information !!! Danke schön !

[meitoli]

Hi, thank you for the explanation. I use western but I have more trouble with the high balls more than with the lower ones. Maybe I am hitting too late. I think the sweet spot on this grip is very very little compared to eastern and others. I guess i have to try to hit more in the very front but that is so hard when you actually playing a real game with someone. How can I improve my western? I was even planning to hit like Dannil lol

[byul]

pls do a video of using western on hard court.

[winiepoo]

4th tip. Use dampeners, theyre cheap as heck

[thelonelydekuscrub]

I feel like my western forehand has evolved so much in the past year

[JH-qnbg]

Iga, Fritz can hit perfect forehand with close, semi open and open stands. Furthermore, I think both of them have a compact back swing. Do you think so ?
