and how can i improve my forehand, i use a continental grip.

Players who hit with a full Western grip generally hit the heaviest topspin. The Western grip almost forces one to hit topspin, because without a sharply upward motion, it's hard to get the ball over the net. A Semi-Western grip has a similar, but milder effect, allowing flatter shots, if wanted, and better handling of low balls. It's possible to hit just as much topspin with the highly versatile Eastern grip, but the most natural swing with an Eastern grip does not whip upward as much. Hitting heavy topspin with the nearly extinct Continental forehand grip might be possible, but it would put uncomfortable stresses on your arm

Hi there,\n\nI've included two links.  One that has a 'raquet selector' tool on it, plus some good articles on how to find the right racquet.  Personnally, I always tell people to look for 2 things - good grip size (remembering that you can increase the grip size, but can't decrese it) and racquet weight - too heavy will slow you down, too light will cause you to swing to early.  Ideally the best way to determine the right one is to use it on the court and try it out.\n\nCheers,\nMatt

well 210 is good but the slice is either from your hips rotating to early or your moving your wrists to much.i have the problem with the wrists i try to swing the club like a bat and turn it but with clubs you cant do that as it pulls the club face and you launch it way off track. try slowing down a little. let the speed come later. just try and get it to make contact the way you want take time and look at the club face as it makes contact then work toward building the muscle memory of the swing before you try and crank it out for distance.

Make sure your feet are pointing in the right direction first of all... keep your shoulders pointing towards where you want to serve it.  Then you have to make sure your serving grip is right, otherwise you will just push the ball over.  Once you figure that out, count off two slow counts (1....2....)and at 2 you should be at the top of your swing going on your way down behind your head.  On 3 you should have already started to swing up from behind your head.  Pronate your wrist at the top of your swing, and follow through over the front of your body.  Also a lot of practice on the ball toss is always usefull.  You can figure out different types of spins and change the speed depending a lot on the toss, and how you follow through.

For grip, pinch plate, grab a couple of weight plates and hold for as long as you can. Wrist curls and reverse bicep curls for the forearms.

How to Properly Re-Grip Your Golf Clubs\n\nEvery golfer who decides to re-grip his own clubs should remember that the grip is the only direct contact with the club - so re-gripping must be done properly.\n\nTo properly re-grip a club, you must know the core size of the grip that you will require, and the size of the grip that best fits your hands.\n\nGrips come in standard core sizing: .520", .560", .580", .600" and .620". There are also special-core-sized grips for oversized-butt diameter shafts, however these types of shafts are very rare now.\n\nDetermining the core size you require is simple. Just measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft you are going to re-grip. \n\nThe diameter of the shaft should match the core diameter of the grip.\nNow determine what size grip best fits your hands. Grips come in regular, mid-size, and oversized or jumbo. To determine which grip best fits your hands, measure from your wrist (base of hand) to the end of your longest finger. If the dimension is less than 6.5 inches, use a junior grip; 6.5 to 7 inches, use a .560" grip; 7 to 7.5 inches, use a .580" grip; 7.5 to 8 inches, use a mid-size grip and over 8 inches choose a jumbo grip.\n\nOnce you have chosen your new grips and are ready to start, make sure that you have the following materials:\n\n• Grip solvent (place in a squeeze bottle).\n• Two-sided 2-inch-wide grip tape and a container to catch the unused solvent.\n• You'll also need a vise and a special rubber shaft holder.\n\nAll of the above should be available from major component companies.\n\nThe grip solvent I like to use is Coleman Camp Fuel. It does a great job and leaves no residue. DO NOT USE Varsol or WD40 - they leave an oily residue and some grips will become loose.\n\nBefore you start you must remove the old grips and the old grip tape. This needs to be done to leave the shaft clean and ready for the new tape and grip. Once you've done this, you are ready to ready to re-grip your clubs:\n\n• Put the shaft holder over you club shaft and tighten in the vise. Be careful not to overtighten if you are re-gripping graphite shafts - they can crack. Tighten just enough that the shaft does not move.\n\n• Cut a piece of grip tape about 8 inches long. Place it along the butt of the shaft, leaving about a half-inch over the end of the shaft. Wrap the tape around the shaft, making full contact for the length of the tape. Squeeze the tape together at the end of the shaft and push it slightly into the shaft to seal the end of the club.\n\n• Squeeze solvent along the tape. Fill the grip about three-quarters full of solvent. Put your finger over the hole in the end of the grip, squeeze the grip opening closed and shake the grip so the solvent covers the entire inside. Pour the solvent along the tape and be ready to install the grip.\n\n• Push the grip up and over the shaft butt. Hold the grip by the front and back and push using equal pressure with both hands. Once you start the grip sliding over the tape, do not stop until the grip is completely on the shaft.\n\n• Clean any excess solvent from the grip and let it sit for an hour. Then you're ready to go play.

To get better you need to practice by your self everyday . You need to hit balls at least 2 to 3 hours every day. Do the L shape practice on the corners. Do the circle practice in the center of the table with out the cue ball leaving the circle.To give you a standard of what your up against. I played this guy nine ball. He ran 10 racks of nine ball on me. When I finally got a shot it was a  hard bank shot and missed then he ran 20 more racks of nine ball on me. These guy are out there. And hes not the best . Hope that helps

You might want to change your swing style and not use too much of your wrist.\n\nOr stick to a two hand backhand and not waste your time on one handed! But if you insist on using it then to make it stronger u should either chage your swing and use your body and sholders, or work out more and GET STRONGER!!\n\nnserge is nothing like the H6, might want to demo it first before you consider in geting it.\n\nFor tennis shoes, just go to a store and try whatever feels good. (feel free to run around the store with a racquet!)\n\nChose mine as best! (I wrote alot)

4-seam grip is ideal, but you will have to practice a lot to get the timing down to make that throw every time.  Most times  you just have to grab it and go, but with practice you will be able to do it without even thinking about it.  Also if you work on a crow hop your throws will have more zip on them.

Timing and club head speed to get that to happen this may help \n\nThere are three checkpoints that deal with your wrist hinge. During your back swing, the top of your swing, and just past impact. Get these positions correct and you’ll hit better shots.\n\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_elliott062904.cfm

Chip with SW, PW, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 irons (maybe even 3 wood), from the same spot to the same hole.  Noting the difference in trajectory and roll.  THEN;  see how many different trajectories and rolls you can produce with each club.   Vary; swing path, speed, ball placement, transfer of weight, etc.  Be able to go back to the basic shot with that particular club.  This helps to ingrain feel.  \n\nYou can do similar with shots to distances with the various clubs.  In other words, hit each club to 50 yards, then 100, then 150.  Don't hurt yourself here, don't try to hit a SW 200.  You'll learn to hit half back swing shots and 3/4 shots.  Note the different trajectories and rolls.  \n\nOn the tee, hit a draw.  Hit a fade.  Then hit it straight.  Hit a knock down.  Hit a stinger.  Be creative.\n\nYou can also play the hole backwards.  For instance on a par 4 hit whatever will leave you a full 5 wood in.  Say you hit your 5 wood 190.  The hole is 350 so hit 160 off the tee.    Or cut the distance in half, hit the same club.  Hit 175.  Be creative.  Call it on the tee.  \n\nOn the practice green.   Find the hole closest to the center of the green.  Make putts like the dial of a clock.  Use 3 or 4 balls.  Make one from each spot before you can move on.  Like horse in basketball.  Start at 2 feet, all the way around the clock.  Go to 3 feet, 5, 10, 15, 20 etc.  \n\nI hope you are able to enjoy some of these ideas.  That's the most important part.  ENJOY IT!!!  Good luck.  You can do it.

First thing you need to do is check your preswing routine.  Make sure your lined up at a target and swing at it.  You have to line up at a target not a general area.  Go to www.pga.com the improve your game section.  Check out the pre-swing set up examples.  They have pictures and clips to help.

Actually, timing has a lot to do with it as well.  With the exception of Tiger and a few others, have you noticed that the pros are not really swinging that hard.  Why?  Timing.\n\nIn fact, I'd venture to guess that your problem is that your hands are not turning over properly and that is why you are ending up with a weak slice.  If your hands do not "flip" through the hitting zone, you hit the ball with an open club face, resulting in a weak, high slice.\n\nMy suggestion: \n1) Check your grip.  Are both vees pointing toward your right shoulder?\n2) Go to the range.  Hit a bucket of balls at 1/2 swing.  Concentrate on rolling your wrists open as you take the club back.  Then "flip" your hands over as you strike the ball.  Think about looking at your right palm and then flip the hand over as quickly as possible to see the back of your hand.  That's the basic motion you want during the swing.  This will add club-head speed without over-swinging and help fix your slice as well.  As you see you are hitting the ball squarely, lengthen your swing out.\n\nHope this helps.  Reverse the above for a lefty.
