Should I use a Continental grip for volleys or switch grips?

Physically, the easiest volley grip system is to switch between the Eastern forehand and backhand grips, and many players find that they can almost always switch in time, but the Continental is easier mentally. If you can get comfortable with the Continental grip, you'll have an advantage in never having to remember to switch grips, especially in quick exchanges at the net. For some players, the Continental grip is too uncomfortable, because it does not place the hand and wrist squarely behind the impact with the ball, especially on the forehand side. It's worth some effort to try to get used to the Continental, especially for advanced players, but it's not for everyone.
