Eastern Forehand Grip:
Balancing power and control, the Eastern forehand grip is a popular choice. It places the base knuckle of the index finger on the third bevel, enabling solid shots with moderate topspin.

Semi-Western Forehand Grip:
For increased topspin, players opt for the Semi-Western grip. The base knuckle rests between the third and fourth bevels, allowing for heavier topspin shots.

Western Forehand Grip:
Seeking extreme topspin, players use the Western grip. The base knuckle is positioned on or beyond the fifth bevel, sacrificing some control for powerful spinning shots.

Continental Grip:
The only grip for volleys, overheads, and serves. The base knuckle sits on the second bevel.

Eastern Backhand Grip:
Ideal for one-handed backhand shots, the Eastern backhand grip aligns the base knuckle with the second bevel. It offers a balance of control and versatility for both topspin and slice backhands.

Two-Handed Backhand Grip:
For stability and power on the two-handed backhand, players combine an Eastern backhand grip with a Continental grip. The dominant hand adopts an Eastern backhand grip, while the non-dominant hand positions itself above in a Continental grip.
