About the grip

ALi tareen Unknown Asked 16 years ago

Whenever i used to play table tennis,my racket used to slip from my hand bcoz of the sweat that comes from my hand.  So is there any solution for that bcoz i tried many things like chalk to be put on my hand but i failed . Can you please give a solution for this problem?

Hi Muhammad,

Keeping your hand cooler helps.  Try blowing on your hand between points.  This will cool your hand.  The other thing is to use a towel or wipe your hand on your shirt or shorts, whenever you can between points.  I know sometimes these get just as wet as your hand.

If the handle of your blade is varnished, you can sand the wood so the surface is less slippery.
