And I'm happy with the handshake grip. Although my backhand was mostly better because I tried to keep my arms mostly straight and come through like most pros. The forehand was a bit shaky, kept hitting it long. So I lost 7-6, 6-1 to Jay Cooke. The second set had lots of close games though. Was really a close match. Really pretty happy with it although I ripped a blister on my toe and wrenched my shoulder blade when serving up the T in the deuce court. For it being the first time I ever played with that grip I'm very happy. Expect I'll improve, provided I remember to keep hands close to straight on backhand.

Elbow has been feeling great since I switched to a McEnroe like serve. Did a somewhat better job moving it around today also. Though I fatigued in the second set. Won a bunch of service games at love in the first set. Could see blowing this guy out on down the road.
