Empuñadura eastern y oriental. Es la llamada empuñadura del apretón de mano. Debéis asir la raqueta como si estrecharais la mano a una persona. [...] es la que ofrece mayores ventajas, ya que la muñeca protege el golpe; el revés se consigue girando la mano hacia el interior de la raqueta. 2, record 1, Spanish, - empu%C3%B1adura%20este%20de%20derecha

Como referencia hay que saber que la empuñadura que recomendamos como más corriente y que, además, es la que está mucho más extendida en los jugadores de primera clase, es la empuñadura «este», bien para la derecha o bien para el revés; es una empuñadura que no es muy difícil de realizar, porque, además, todos en algunos momentos hemos saludado a alguien, y es algo parecido; la conocemos como la empuñadura del «apretón de manos» [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - empu%C3%B1adura%20este%20de%20derecha
