I do hold it with my fingers on the button ofcourse.  But how is it natural to swing using the thinest sides of the remote (the sides without buttons) as the front and back of the racket?  What is natural is for the side with the a button to be your forehand and the side with the b button to be your back hand.

Well considering it should be how you hold a real tennis racket I don't see the problem.

See Federer here.... see where his finger ends and thumb are, they end on the forehand face of the racket.... thie only difference with this and the Wii remote is if you need to use the A and B-buttons (which I believe you do in GST?) you have to adjust your thumb and index finger slightly differently.



The Wii remote button face if in his grip would be pointing up and left in the photo, so the difference is Federer would have to move his thumb to the right to press the A-button.

Eh? No.  Unless I am misunderstanding what EA mean by the side of the remote is the front (which could explain why I am so bad at the game).  In this picture it looks to me like the part he is going to hit the ball with (the part with the big red M in the middle) on the Wii remote would be the part of the remote with the a button.  The other side of the M would on the Wii remote be the side with the B button.  That is what seems like the natural way to hold the Wii remote to play a tennis game.  But to say the side of the Wii remote is the front of the racket means to me that the edges with no buttons is the front and the back of the racket.  That seems totally unnatural because you would not expect the thinnest edges to be the front and back.  That to me is like Federer in this picture having to hit the ball with the thin part of the racket which is alternating between the colours red, cream and wine.  

Errr I think you mistook B for A....

for me it looks like he's hitting with the B button side as in the B is thowards the ground and the A to the sky.... his grip is not different than when standing still. It's on the backhand that your grip changes and you'd hit with the A button side.

edit: (unless you're a lefty...which roger isn't)

 

I personnaly only played for 2 hours (mostly playing double with my gf who had no WM+), .... I felt like I could not put in the shots I wanted... and while reciving a serve, my racket often started to go sideways while I was waiting, which I understood as loss of synch.... putting the thing upside down for 3 secs did most of the time set it correctly, but the accuracy did not seem to improve. That said, I did manage to break the computer, I'm having trouble getting my own service points :p

I have a French WM+ so I guess i'm not in the batch of faulty ones .... though I kinda think I am (albeit with little play time).

GF loves the game without WM+ nor Nunchuck.... unlike me, the ball doesn't go out at every other shot.
