John, I think, I mean I have changed my grip to semi-western from easter.

Well, that's not necessarily bad--depends...was there a question in there? If you are asking what I think so long as the heel pad doesn't slip off the third bevel, you are still in good position. Sampras--Federer--maybe Agassi, but further = trouble!


Of course the easy answer is--change it back...

So you're grip can go as western as you want, but the heel pad must in some part touch the third bevel?

[johnyandell]

No. If your heel pad isn't square behind the third bevel...that's my preference and can't imagine why anyone below a tour player would want anything else--at the world class level some pretty good players have the same: Pete, Agassi, Federer.
