I checked with Oscar and here's his answer:
"changing grips can destroy someone's strokes, especially on young kids. On a Western grip forehand, I recommend to put a string three feet above the net, and hit over it with plenty of topspin, like Nadal. More height will mean more depth, it will make returns more difficult for the opponent, and it will also avoid netting too many shots."
