What's the best grip for overheads?

Question: What's the best grip for overheads?
Answer: If you'll be meeting the ball between yourself and the net, which is ideal, use either a Continental or Eastern grip, whichever feels better. If you want to spin the ball in or must do so because it gets behind you, a Continental grip will be easier.
