Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 What's with the eastern grip and western grip thingy?? O_o They are two of the three most common grips in tennis. To get an eastern grip, pretend you're shaking hands with the racket. For the western one, it's like picking it up off the floor. I don't know if this was what you were looking for, but I tried... ^.^; And don't quote me on this. I just got this from Prince of Tennis and Wikipedia.

IdentityUnknown 216 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 I'm a super noob at tennis but I love it... What's with the eastern grip and western grip thingy?? O_o They are two of the three most common grips in tennis. To get an eastern grip, pretend you're shaking hands with the racket. For the western one, it's like picking it up off the floor. I don't know if this was what you were looking for, but I tried... ^.^; And don't quote me on this. I just got this from Prince of Tennis and Wikipedia. Here's my explanation: Eastern grip has the racket facing downwards, which makes the ball much lower (much safer than Western grip), but the chances of it going over the net decrease and the force at which the ball is hit is usually less. It's more commonly used by, well, Easterners. Western grip has the racket completely straight. It's much better for attack (while Eastern is more for defense) but the chances of the ball going out increase. Most people try to aim for somewhere in the middle. A good idea if you use Western grip is to try to get the ball to have “top-spin”, as it is called by my coach, which makes the ball spin forwards. It's a really safe method if you do it right, because the ball tends to go in the court, even if it seems like it's gonna go out. It bounces fairly high and can also catch people by surprise. Slice is also fun to use, but you'll probably learn that later on. No matter how hard I try or how well I follow the guidelines, I always get a C+ for Writing in Humanities in Action Do you want me to help? I have a mild headache right now. Bothering me.

Forever Lost 55 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 Just ran screaming from my chair because a freaking spider was on my shirt and I caught it in the corner of my eye. Then I screamed I HATE YOU and killed it a few minutes later. Also, I finally forced the disgusting tooth out of my younger sister's mouth. It bothered me for so long, but now her two missing front teeth hardly look any better. Emotionally stable for the most part since last night (ha, that could sound messed up..) Anyway. School work. And it's hot outside. And I hate spiders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IdentityUnknown 216 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 Had a dream about being stopped in the middle of Colorado by a police officer...we all know who that police officer is... But I'm not worried. Moho doesn't know how old I am, how tall I am, how I look, or when I'm coming. His chances of catching me...or even seeing me are less than my chances of falling in love. Which means it's an approximate: 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. I went to sleep early yesterday so I could get up early today. Now I have no idea what to do. For some reason, I feel like I'm being watched by somebody or something. Probably just my paranoid self. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
