Tennis Serve Grip

Tennis serving?
When i serve the ball in tennis, i use the forehand grip instead of the continental grip and the serve is better when i use the forehand grip. It goes faster and it goes in the box. When i use the continental grip it goes very slow and it goes out. I am 14 years old and half way decent at playing. What grip should i use? My coach says that most people use the continetal grip.
It's true. Most pro's use the Continental grip when serving, and most coaches will recommend that grip.
The reason is that it's much easier to get spin on the ball when you serve with a Continental grip as opposed to an Eastern one. It will feel awkward for a while, but gradually get yourself used to it through practice, and you'll be glad that you did when you see all of the spin you can put on your serve by using that grip.

Tom Avery's FREE Tennis Lessons - The Serve Grip
Should I use my wrist to add spin when serving in table tennis (ping pong)?
My friend, who is pretty good, told me that I shouldn't use my wrist when serving. I usually do either a underhand backspin or sidespin serve with the shakehand grip and he told me to use my entire forearm to add spin. Is this good or bad advice?
Good advice. The fewer moving parts you have on your body, the more consistent you'll be. Using your arm will give you every bit as much spin as you could ever want, and more consistency.
