Keep your paddle stable!

“Loose grip” is often misunderstood as a wavy, unstable paddle. Universal Rackets’ cue is soft and still — freeze the face at contact. Softness without stability just becomes another swing error. Less paddle movement usually means cleaner contact and better control at the kitchen.

Action items

• Soften the grip without letting the face wobble
• Cue “freeze” at contact on dinks and blocks
• Film a few kitchen exchanges to check for paddle wiggle
