which grip would be better? long grip or short grip. hello sam thank you for your questions your question number 1 is short grip better or
long grip better your second question should i grip short at the net because i have to move faster
and should i grip long when i move back because i have more power those are two questions personally grip here is too short you might find easy to use your racket because it is light but you will loose power and more importantly the length
because it is too short you might have to move deeper to reach to the shuttlecocks to me this much short grip is too extreme the one i like is about about here instead of that i like grip about here and answer to your another question
i am against the idea when you are at the net grip short when you move back grip long i am against this idea why? when you are playing all of your focus has to be on the shuttlecock on your opponent and where to hit
to feel where your opponent is moving what he expects you have to focus on those things number two some times shuttle goes fast to the backwards you do not have time to change from here shuttle goes back quickly you change to the long grip while you are moving
is unlikely possible and that will take too much time and that will distract your concentration okay what is my answer then i like grip regardless if i am at the net if i am at the back i will grip about here this much grip
still allows me to use power still allows me to create power because its not here because its not too long still i can move my racket reasonably fast so this way i have power and speed in reasonable way and i don't have to change at the net when i am back i don't have to change
there is another issue if you change from here to there your racket weight will change your total length will be changed there fore your feel of hitting the impact point will be changed too which is not ideal it's better to have one type of grip and get used to it
for quickness and the way you create power there is only one time i personally change this grip to long grip is in this situation so i am ready here opponent made good deceptive drop shot i am late
shuttle is slowly coming down deeper then on the way watch my hands on the way i might do that one more normal grip shuttle is little bit away than i expected and i am late
in that case on the way i will change my grip to reach to the shuttlecock it is possible to do that why? shuttle is coming slowly i have time to change but i don't normally change from this grip to here because i have enough power
to make fast action and compact action even when i grip here to conclude if you play more doubles then about here is right but if you play more singles you may try to go little bit longer
but if you are doubles player having this much long grip is not ideal when you are defending opponent smash this is too long to react fast but please do not try to change grip from here at the net to be there at the back not enough time to do it
too much to change when you are under pressure i hope this answers your questions and find my answers beneficial to you thank you !
