Hey everyone, I'm a fairly new player and have been working on getting my overhead forehand form right. I've just added the pronation part and can now do a decent clear when my timing's right, but I'm finding that the stroke is really hard on my hand. The force of the swing causes the racket to want to rotate, and this combined with the tightening of my grip at the moment of impact is causing the skin to rub off at the base of my index finger and tip of my pinky finger.
Do I need to grip the racket tighter throughout the stroke to ensure that it's unable to shift in my hand at all? All the grip resources I've found online just show the position of the grip and say to hold it loose, but I've not found any detailed explanation of exactly how things should work during the stroke.
