The grips are named according to the position of the hands or lower arms: reverse grip (the ulna of the forearm is positioned upwards, the back of the hands face each other), cross grip (the arms are crossed), ordinary grip (the backs of the hands point upwards, the thumbs are next to each other), and outside grasp (the radius points upwards, the palms face each other). The grip with which the exercise is performed effects the degree of difficulty. A prerequisite for learning the different grips is a general training of grip strength in the hands. 2. In tennis the various possibilities of holding the racquet with the hand: eastern grip for a forehand stroke (the hand is held in a shakehands position and grips the racquet from behind and up with the playing surface positioned vertically, continental or hammer grip for forehand or backhand strokes (the racquet is held like the handle of a hammer), western grip for the high backhand stroke (the wrist is partly on the grip and partly in front of it). A changing grip refers to the possibility to change the racquet over from one hand to the other during the game (however, due to the velocity of today‟s game, this option is usually ineffective). Recently, some players have begun to play the ball with the same surface of the racquet without changing the grip (for grips in other sport disciplines ping pong). (H.Haag &g.
