Grips Tennis
What grips are the current tennis elite using?
Also, how is this different from days of yore?
Detail much appreciated!
For the serves, pros use mainly the continental grip so that the ball can go straight. Others use an eastern grip for serves. For forehands most players use a semi-western to western grip because it offers the most control over the ball and allows the players to place heavy topspin on the ball. Backhands are either semi-western or eastern, though two-handed backhands sometimes use continental backhands. Volleys are just about always continental because its otherwise difficult to direct the ball.
The grips remain the same since older days except for groundstrokes. Back in the day, the western grip was seldom used and the eastern was more popular.
