Lin Dan's "broken" racket grip...

**drew tze en** · 10-17-2010, 02:23 PM

I think it helps him with his backhand grip

or it can just make the head more heavy since the lost of weight on the handle

it just confusing myself....my AT700 old only feel comfy when i grip like lin dans grip....but my Ti10, BS11, NS9900 feel weird when i grip like LDs. The AT700 feel more head heavy, but the strage is i feel more speed when drive and defense

It's strange since AT 700 is way more head heavy than NS9900....
With head light you'd better put an overgrip..

I have been using the LD grip, for the last week or so, its actually quite nice, if you dont use the top of the grip, then why overgrip there ? It also forces you to use the bottom of the grip, which gives more power imo.

I hold my grip near the bottom for power

yea he changed to blu grip taped upp to half the shaft!!!!! really fun.. but in the end of the game he switched back to "normal" grip..

**arfandy** · 05-29-2011, 10:44 AM

yep! i was surprised to see his overgrip all the way upto the shaft! and did anyone notice that one of LD racket has not butt-cap? i guess he got too much free rackets and decided "break" it and see what's inside the handle!

Lin dan's new grip style :

**LD rules!** · 05-29-2011, 04:11 PM

OMG what is he doing !

LD is well known for having barely any grip on his rackets, now he has gripped most of his racket in blue towel grip

***chance*** · 05-29-2011, 04:46 PM

Did anyone else notice that his serve also seems kinda different? Like he isn't making a full swing, he just stops within the movement? :3

Funny - those happen to be the two ways I grip my rackets

On a few, I have (depending on grip size) a bit of towel grip on top of a) the wood or b) some overgrip, on the others I put on towel grip pretty high...not quite as high as he did, in most cases^^ There's barely any of the shaft uncovered!
