Grip Changes

There are many ways to hold a pickleball paddle, and each grip offers unique benefits. I encourage players of all skill levels to experiment with small changes in grip and grip pressure to find what works best for them. Personally, I’ve recently switched to a more Eastern grip, which has helped me generate more topspin on my serves and more dip on my drives. For dinking and punch volleys, however, I still prefer the Continental grip. When executing roll volleys, I’ll often switch back to Eastern. I encourage players to try grip changes during drill sessions. You might find that you don't need to change your grip at all but it is always worth exploring. :) 

If you're unfamiliar with different grips or want a deeper understanding, I highly recommend checking out John Cincola's breakdown. He explains the details brilliantly.
