What is a "backhand grip"?
A backhand grip is a way of holding the racquet in various racquet sports, such as tennis, badminton, and squash, to perform a backhand shot. In these sports, the backhand grip allows the player to hit the ball or shuttlecock on the opposite side of their dominant hand. Typically, the non-dominant hand is placed higher on the handle, with the dominant hand holding the lower part. This grip enables players to strike the ball with control and accuracy when hitting shots across their body. The backhand grip can vary slightly depending on the sport and the player's style.
