    Hi guys.

    Can you guys show me some pictures or videos for the right grip when smashing/clearing and in drop shots?

    Where my hand and finger should act. I already learn the neutral grip.

    - In smashing I have to grab tightly the grip to generate more power + hit on the center?

    Thanks.

    If you know the neutral grip, then you know what is needed already. For smashing do not worry about the grip. Just stay relaxed and focus on racket head speed.

    Good luck.

    Here's a video I made a few days ago while answering another thread. You only need to do this on power strokes, not drops. And keep in mind that my action was exaggerated to show it better. In real life, there's less gap and the action is faster.

    So, the grip that you show me is for smashes, clears etc, right? Really appreciate your help! :)

    Yep. Add pronation and perfect timing to it and you'll have a killer technique. :)

    It's free to read but you do have to pay for the videos.
