THE YoREHAND GRrP


 Tn order that each stroke may be properly executed, it is absolutely essential that one must learn the correct method of gripping the racket for whatever stroke iS de- sired.
 There are three distinctly sepa- rate grips in tennis; one for the forehand, one for the backhand, and one for the service.
 TiIden has set aside the most
 readily i1nderstood method of
 determining the correct position
 of the hand on the racket for
 fOrehand strokes. His advice iS
 to stand the racket on the edge
 of its frame, with the handle
 pointing toward you. Then, with
 tho arm fully extended, "shake
 iands'' with the racket fin exs
 aCtIy the same manner as you
 would shake hands with .
 friend.
 If you have Q racket handy, let me suggest that you grip it In the above manner, and take particular notice of the position of the hand on the octagonal-shaped handle. The palm of the hand should rest along the outside edge Of the ham, de, with the thumb and fingers ABOUND the shaft, holding 1t comfortably and firmly. There is little, if any angle at the wrist, the arm and racket being in somewhat of Q straight line. That is, the arm and hand gre more or less In Q straight line with the long stringa of the racket.
 Consider the racket as merely ar, extension of the arm, as though t were c part of the arm and hand, The beginning should try and irll- agine that he is hitting the ball with the palm of his hand, and by thinking thusly will automatically keep the racket-face in the correct position during the swing.
