Developing The CHOPPER GRIP on the Serve (AKA The Continental Grip)

Developing the Chopper Grip (continental grip) on the serve can be one of the toughest challenges for juniors and adults alike, but definitely worth it if you want to improve the mechanics and effectiveness of your serve.

In this video I talk through some of the reasons why you should consider using the chopper grip if you don’t already and some of the drills I like to use to help players to be more confident with it.

Some useful tips for coaches, players and parents, finishing with one of my favourite exercise to develop good pronation and internal shoulder rotation!
