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
