@lavamaster530 You're basically holding the racket from the bottom. Sort of like twisting your hand around. Or rather, you're not flipping the racket around, you're flipping your hand around. Hitting at 1 would give you a very flat shot. Hope that helped!

I like when my girlfriend uses the western grip on me!

hey coach, I am a beginner and I liked your tutorials . I watched your video a few times now and I dont get what the difference between bevel# 1 and 5 is. Like Lavamaster indicated they are the same, aren't they? If so, why are you stressing so much about Bevel#5 ....I guess there is some significance about it that you didnt explain in your video.

@TheBig1dea yeah I've noticed that but you just have to work through it. just using different muscles I'm guessing.

semi-western is an inbetween from eastern and western. You get top-spin and penetration with semi-western.
