CCOACH’SOACH’S CORNERCORNER

Why is Grip Pressure So Important?

hen we talk about grip, most of the time we reduce the topic to the types of grips such as PHOTO: LONG NGUYEN W shakehand or penhold, including Chinese, Japa- nese, Korean and so on. We add, for example, that with the shakehand grip you can keep your grip for the forehand and the backhand a bit open or a bit closed.

But beyond these things, there is another aspect of Tapia Rodrigo (Ecuador), the grip that is very important but does not get enough top, and Martin Cederlof attention. This is the amount of pressure each player ap- (Sweden), left, were among the many international plies to his or her handle when holding the paddle.

As grip pressure changes a player’s strokes and technique accomplished international completely. I believe many mistakes happen because of grip juniors, they demonstrated a good deal of “touch” by pressure. For example, if a player holds the paddle so tight employing proper grip that all the muscles in their forearm are tense, then the pressure. ball is going to be played very hard with a lack of control. When a player is said to have great touch, what does that mean? Great touch means that a player holds the paddle in For example, if a player is having trouble keeping the such a way that the paddle is the same as their hand, or you ball short because they squeeze too hard, I tell them can say the paddle is an extension of his/her hand. As the it’s not a matter of how to hit the ball, but it is a matter coach at ICC, with a lot of different students, it is important of how to hold your paddle. If you hold the paddle with for me to understand what they are feeling when they hit too much pressure, the ball will automatically bounce the ball.

Coach’s Corner / Massimo Costantini Grip Pressure [ Continued from page 64 ]

I encourage my students to relax their grip enough so they can feel the paddle and then squeeze when they hit the ball. The right grip is to keep the paddle relaxed, to keep ﬁ rm, but not to squeeze enough to produce

tension in the wrist or forearm. Start with a relaxed PHOTO: LONG NGUYEN grip and squeeze just as you strike the ball, not before or after. Some players will learn more quickly than oth- ers the correct grip pressure and when to squeeze. But by becoming aware of grip pressure and its effect on hitting the ball, each player will be able to work on developing their own grip technique. Maggie Tian [right], one of ICC’s talented coaches, works with Lily Zhang during a match at the JUIC International Junior & Cadet Championships. Some players tell me their block is out of control, and I can see that their grip is too loose or too hard.

Taking Robot Technology to the Next Level

The Paddle Palace S4W Pro has two heads, each with two throw wheels. Both heads, and the four throw wheels, are all independently programmable, allowing you great fl exibility in designing playing patterns and practice options. You can program a seamless combination of topspin and underspin (or side-spin or no-spin) shots in the same play sequence. The S4W Pro comes with an easy to use, comprehensive control box that is conveniently located at the player’s end of the table. This heavy duty robot is durable for club and home use. It is ready to use right out of the box.

The S4W Pro provides a player the option to use either one or both heads to produce their desired practice patterns. Use the single head to set up a specifi c serve or volley, or employ both heads to alternate seamlessly between types of spin, short and long balls, strong and weak balls, or high and low balls. Plus, you choose the landing spots, as well as the speed and throw frequency. Another advantage is you can set up one head to reproduce a realistic serve that hits the robot side of the table fi rst, then complete the sequence with volleys from the 2nd head. The S4W is easy to use, yet provides the sophisticated technology and fl exible programming to be your ultimate training machine.
