La prise marteau ou neutre [...] Cette prise se définit comme un intermédiaire entre la prise en pronation et la prise en supination. Elle se définit simplement puisque c'est la position que prennent les mains lorsque les bras sont au repos le long du corps. Les paumes sont donc tournées vers le corps lorsque les bras sont sur le côté du corps et dirigés vers le sol.  2, record 1, French, - prise%20marteau

Continental Grip. Also known as the "hammer" grip, because you hold the racquet as if you are going to hammer a nail with the side of the frame, the Continental is the one grip that can be used for every shot. But its primary uses are for serves, volleys, overheads, slices, and defensive shots.  5, record 2, English, - continental%20grip

Used as a compromise between the eastern forehand and eastern backhand grips by some players to eliminate the necessity of shifting their hand on the racket. Sometimes the term "service grip" is erroneously used as a synonym because it is the grip most commonly used in serving; however this is a misnomer since today there are many different types of service grips in use.  4, record 2, English, - continental%20grip

Sistema continental martillo. Se coge la empuñadura como un martillo, en el mismo plano que el antebrazo, formando un ángulo, antebrazo raqueta, de 100 a 110° más o menos. La empuñadura continental no es aconsejable para los que empiezan, ya que requiere mucha fuerza en la muñeca debido a que la mayor parte de la mano está sobre la empuñadura; yo la aconsejaría sólo para la volea, el servicio y el smash, ya que permite el juego de muñeca indispensable, sobre todo en el servicio y en el smash [...]  2, record 2, Spanish, - empu%C3%B1adura%20continental

La prise neutre est relativement simple. Le bâton repose en diagonale dans la paume de la main gauche [... ] Le joueur doit être capable de voir les jointures de l'index et du majeur de sa main gauche. Le pouce gauche doit appuyer sur la base de l'index. Cela assure qu'au moment de l'impact, la face du club aura le même alignement qu'à l'adresse.  1, record 3, French, - prise%20neutre
