Hi Travis,
Spend a bit of time to adjust your grip so that it remains the same for both forehand and backhand. It is difficult to be changing grips during the rally because you just don't have enough time in most cases.
It is better to develop your strokes with the same grip.

I have noticed a few world class players (Timo Boll, etc) changing grip from forehand to backhand, but as Alois said, it is only a small adjustment in order to flatten out the blade for very fast attacking strokes. I have found that, like twiddling, it only tends to complicate matters. Most strokes can be played with the standard grip.

Ram - every player experiences the occasional ball hitting the finger so you are not alone in this. Perhaps your finger is too vertical on the backhand side. I think you should follow Alois' example and concentrate on your finger being vertical and along the base of the rubber. Hope this helps.

Yes I am able to maneuver the bat more freely now compared to when I first started playing. I would use both hands to be able to get a steady grip. Thank you for the video!

No problems Kathy.
