How to correct the habit of holding the racket too tightly

Gripping the racket too tightly usually refers to the phenomenon that a hitter does not leave a proper gap between the palm and the handle of the racket when gripping the racket during the process of preparation, leading and restoring when hitting the ball, as well as the phenomenon that the racket has been gripped tightly before the moment of collision between the racket and the ball. Once the habit is formed, it will bring a great obstacle to the further improvement of the hitting technique. The following methods can be used to improve it:

  1. Adopting the correct grip After holding the racket, use the movement of your fingers to keep rotating the racket, and the movement of suddenly gripping it tightly and then reverting to relaxing it immediately. If you hold the racket with your palm close to the handle at all times, it will be difficult for you to complete the above movements.
  2. Do some freehand swings in your spare time, focusing on how you grip the racket from a loose grip to a sudden tight grip at the moment of hitting the ball, and on finger dexterity.
  3. If you have become accustomed to holding the racket too tightly, you can practice more delicate techniques that require less force in the near future, such as slinging the ball, rolling the ball in front of the net, hooking the ball diagonally and pushing the ball.
