Grip Theory

Why Gary Stickler Allows Players to Find Their Own Grip That Fits in With Their Natural Swing

Key Points

  • Players change grips based on the shot they’re hitting, only keeping the same grip half the time
  • The grip is something that naturally changes as you get older
  • Players are changing grips so it fits in with their natural swing
  • Use the non dominant hand to move the racket face based on the height of the ball
  • Adjust the racket in your hand to suit where you’re hitting the ball
  • Allow players to find their own grip using the non-dominant hand
  • Players should be allowed to keep their natural swing; not a swing that fits into the way you hold the grip
  • No 2 swings are the same
