Grip (tennis)

In tennis, a grip is a way of holding the racquet in order to hit shots during a match. The three most commonly used conventional grips are: the Continental (or "Chopper"), the Eastern and the Western. Most players change grips during a match depending on what shot they are hitting.

The octagonal handle

In order to understand the grips, it is important to know that the handle of a racquet always consists of 8 sides or, in other words, has an octagonal shape. A square shape would hurt the hand, while a round shape would not give enough friction to gain a firm grip. The eight sides of the handle are called bevels. We can number the bevels from 1 to 8 as follows: if the blade of the racquet is perpendicular to the ground, the bevel facing up is bevel #1. Rotating the racquet counter-clockwise (for a right handed player, clockwise for a left handed player), the next bevel facing up is bevel #2, if you are right-handed, and clockwise if you are left-handed, and so on to identify all 8 bevels.

Namida (Kokoro Abaite)

"Namida (Kokoro Abaite)" (NAMIDA～ココロアバイテ～, translated as "Tears (Through His Heart)") is the theme song for the film Zebraman: Vengeful Zebra City, released as a CD single on April 21, 2010. The song is performed by actress Riisa Naka under the name Zebra Queen (ゼブラクイーン, Zebura Kuīn), the character she portrays in the film. In the fiction of the film where the song also exists, the single has been the #1 song for 40 weeks straight during the year 2025. In real life, the single peaked at #22 on the Oricon Weekly Charts in 2010, remaining on the charts for 6 weeks. Naka states that she gave Zebra Queen a persona akin to Lady Gaga for the musical performances. In addition to a standard CD single release, a CD+DVD combo pack was released featuring music videos for both tracks with her back up dancers known as the Zebras (ゼブラーズ, Zeburāzu). In addition to these two music videos, an alternate music video for the B-Side was filmed featuring comedienne Naomi Watanabe in place of Riisa Naka as Zebra Queen.
