Modern Classic – Roger Federer’s Forehand

as u all know…tennis has mainly 3 grips…that is eastern, semi west and western…people keep wanting to follow the modern tennis nowadays…where they tend to use a more western grip…for those who don’t know tennis at all..sorry lar…you may be don’t know what the hell i am talking bout…

to be honest..i used to complain to my dad the grip i was using…which is supposedly eastern grip…that i couldn’t actually generate more spin and tend to play a flatter stroke and eventually make more error…there was 1 match that i played in my form5 that made me felt more eager to change my grip…it was final..and my opponent and also my buddy that i used to give some advice to..defeated me in the final…as i couldn’t actually return back nicely his bloody spinning floating ball especially in the bloody lousy court in my school…the courts are too short for you and block you from moving further back to take the ball…

after that match…people actually thought that the grip like what i was using is no longer useful..and mr lee…their coach…of course…felt proud of himself by producing such students… besides meiking and ian maybe…and 1 friend of mine even said that i was using baby’s grip…so what…if u can’t beat me in your modern grip..anything says is nonsense…i din blame her..cause she isn’t good in tennis…guess some of you already know who is she without me giving the name…then…i slowly change my grip a little…shift my base knuckle slightly downwards….hope i can add more spin in my strokes…and i already get used to the grip i am using right now..though that is not what my coach has teached..he would only know how to say “lock your wrist”…”swing your arm” bla bla bla when i was playing….

the main point of writing all these is to let my tennis kakis know…I AM NOT USING TIM HENMAN’S aka OLDMAN’S grip…but…THE ALMIGHTLY ROGER FEDERER’S GRIP…WAHAHA…don’t believe???take a look at this article…he is not using semiwest MR IAN GOH…by the way….i am just telling you all that the grip he is using is really similar to what i do…i don mean other elements like stance or stuff like that…

and ang…wish to have the world num 1’s grip???learn from me..i will give you a best price..haha…just kidding…
