You made a video about serving with penhold and playing with shakehand.  I found a way to change it very quickly. So is it legal to serve with penhold and play with shakehand?

Hi Lukas,

It is legal to change grips but it is easier to just modify your shakehand grip slightly by taking your three fingers off the handle when you are serving and then out them back straight after you serve.
