Won my match today 6-2, 6-1 against Ab M, a 4th year med student. I played almost solely with a continental grip for all shots. First time ever did such a thing. Worked just fine against this guy anyway. He wasn't very consistent though. He had a hard time with my serve and he had some trouble with my slices that just skimmed over the net. I really didn't do anything special though. I dinked a lot. Gave him no pace. Afterwards we hit around and I mostly still just hit continental and I'm curious about hitting a flat forehand that way. Seemed like I might still be able to hit it decent and possibly with more consistency than I manage with a western.
This was also the first time I played with my prostaff 6.1 95 28 with TNT2 Tour at 44 pounds instead of the Prince Graphite Classic Longbody with natural gut at 50 pounds. Made no meaningful difference. Still hit some aces. Although all and all my serve might have been a little slower, maybe. Not a big difference though.
This guy wasn't very good though.
