before every point make a note of your grip.make sure you can you can see the same angle of your racket as you put it up to your right shoulder, then your left shoulder.only change your racket grip during the shot if you want touch (HOLD GRIP HIGHER UP SHAFT FOR BETTER FEEL) or lower down shaft (FOR MORE POWER DURING RALLIES) or hold grip in the middle for normal play. thats what my coach told me and it seemed to work for me.

I have added key words and you will now find under "Relevant Content" see tab on top lefthand column there has been quite a lot of discussion on the Grip.  If you have any questions after reading all these posts just throw in another post. 

Shuib It would be good if the heading could be changed to something like, eg  "Is it OK to keep changing my grip" or something that will identify the post more easily through the Forum Archives.

Ideally, you should not be adjusting your grip every time you switch from forehand to backhand. It's important that there is as little variation as possible in your grip when you groove your shots, as inconsistency will result in inaccuracy.

This is not to say you can't change your grip mid-rally. It's often useful to slide your hand further down the grip for increased power.

Try to keep a consistent grip, especially if you're not very experienced. Solo drills go a long way, especially drills with alternating backhands and forehands, such as figure eights, and alternating straight volleys and short single-corner volleys.
