I started playing the game by grade 11 and in 5 months i am able play with the top players at my coaching center thanks to your videos . But now as I came to know about the penhold grip and as tried it , my backhand is like 15 times better at returning hard smashes and pushing, but I lost my wonderful forehand topspin which brought me up at the coaching centre. So both grip has it's own effect and both is like having a killer effect on the game at it's own ways . So which grip shall I play with?

Hi Ram,

Choose whichever one you feel more comfortable with.  You have only been playing for a short time so allow yourself some time to adjust.  Try the penhold grip for another week or two and then see which grip you feel more comfortable with.
