  • Upper Limb Kinematics During the Topspin Double-Handed Backhand Stroke in Tennis
    38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS DURING THE TOPSPIN DOUBLE-HANDED BACKHAND STROKE IN TENNIS Nicholas A. Busuttil1, Machar Reid2, Molly Connolly2,3, Ben J. Dascombe4 & Kane J. Middleton1 Sport and Exercise Science, School of Allied Health, Human Services, and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia1 Game Insight Group, Tennis Australia, Melbourne, Australia2 Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia3 Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Laboratory, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Newcastle, Ourimbah, Australia4 The purpose of this study was to compare non-dominant wrist kinematics during tennis double-handed backhand strokes in players using either an eastern or continental grip position. Trajectory data for two grips (eastern & continental) and depths (deep & short) were captured for sixteen sub-elite right-handed tennis players using a 12-camera Vicon motion capture system (250 Hz). The eastern grip demonstrated significantly faster horizontal racket head velocities compared to the continental grip. However, no differences were observed in accuracy or spin rate between grips (p > 0.05). In the non-dominant upper limb for the continental condition, elbow flexion was smaller while wrist extension was larger throughout the swing. Collectively, these data suggest that the continental grip may place the wrist in a position that is more vulnerable to overuse injury. KEYWORDS: ulna, wrist, kinematics, grip, tennis. INTRODUCTION: Acute wrist pain is among the most common issues reported by elite and recreational tennis players, and it is a likely result of the wrist being the first major upper limb joint to absorb ball impact forces (Stuelcken, Mellifont, Gorman, & Sayers, 2017; Elliott, 2006).

  • All Tennis Grips Explained Clearly
    All Tennis Grips Explained Clearly The tennis grips you use have a big influence on your style of play. This is because the tennis grip is one of the factors that determines how much of spin you put and how much of pace you generate. One grip is not better than another. You should select a grip that helps your style of play. If you are an aggressive player, choose a grip that allows you to hit through the ball and put more pace (think Federer). If you are more of a consistent player, choose a grip that allows you to put more spin (think Nadal). The tennis racket grip is divided into 8 bevels as shown in the diagram. The type of grip depends on which bevel the Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest. All of the tennis grip diagrams below assume that you are right handed. If you are left handed just reverse the instructions. Serve Continental Grip Use this for the serve, volley, overhead, and slice (all the pros do). The Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest on bevel 2. Forehand There are three forehand grips. Each grip has its own natural height at which you would contact the ball. The higher the natural contact point, the more naturally you hit across the back of the ball from bottom to top, and more top spin you put on the ball at the expense of pace. This will be clearer as you read about the three forehand grips. Eastern Forehand Grip Index Knuckle and Heel Pad rest on the 3rd bevel.

  • The Continental Grip – Swiss Army Knife of Tennis
    Continental Grip – the Swiss Army knife of tennis This is the most universally used grip in tennis. In fact, Continental means all-around grip. It was once known as the Aussie grip because famous Australian players such as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall employed this grip for all of their shots—groundstrokes, volleys, serves, & overheads. The continental grip is most notably used for the serve, overhead, and volley. Because of its extreme versatility, this grip is also used to execute the half-volley, chip, slice, lob, and defensive shots. Players, who become comfortable early in their development with the continental grip, develop and progress much more rapidly. Learning to play with the continental grip will give you the enormous advantage of never having to think about changing your grip when you are up at net, especially during a rapid-fire volley exchange (seen often in doubles). However, for many players, the Continental grip is too uncomfortable, because it does not place the hand and wrist squarely behind the impact with the ball, especially on the forehand side. The awkwardness is because most players are not taught to use this grip early in their development. I teach the continental grip first to my beginning students because it can be and is used on a variety of shots. In my experience, most beginners feel more comfortable using an eastern forehand grip (EFG) on the forehand volley, and an eastern backhand grip (EBG) for the backhand volley. The EFG puts more of the palm of your hand behind the racquet, and players falsely think it makes the wrist stronger at contact.

  • Beginning Tennis - Study Guide
    Beginning Tennis - Study Guide One of the enduring beauties of tennis is that people of all sizes, shapes, ages and physical abilities can enjoy playing tennis for the rest of their lives. Tennis is a skill sport that is based primarily on learning to handle the racket in order to direct the tennis ball. Everyone learns differently, some visually, verbally or by using their kinesthetic senses (“get the feel) of a motion or shot. We will have a “show and tell” presentation of the KEY CONCEPTS of the game. Whether you are a serious tennis player who is highly skilled or an occasional player who plays strictly for fun, you can improve your performance by understanding a few key concepts of the game. KEY CONCEPTS - THE KINETIC CHAIN Hand & Racket The Kinetic chain is a coordinated activation of the segments of the body starting Wrist with the ground reaction force to the feet on the ground and ending with the Elbow acceleration of the racket through the ball. Its purpose is to place the end segment, Shoulder the hand and racket, in the optimum position at the optimum velocity to best Trunk & Back “make the ball go”. Efficient use of the segments creates a racket velocity that is much more than the sum of its parts.
