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 (photo) or Eastern forehand (photo) 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.
