Answer 1

I am pretty sure this is a western grip. If this didn't help you tell me.

Answer 2

i think it's a full-western grip. the only safe way to use it is when hitting with some slow topspin to create a "dip" shot just above the net and dropping closely to the net at your opponent's side. otherwise you might hurt your wrist. i'd agree with the semi-western grip suggestion. hope it helps :)

Answer 3

yes i think it is western grip because if it was continental, then the space between the index finger and thumb would be more to the left of the racket than it is in these pictures...

hope this helped :D

Answer 4

Hey,

Yep thats a Western!  

Dont use it haha.  Rotate that and start working with the semi-western.  There a reason professionals arent hitting with western grips, so why are you!?

Just something to think about.
