Fingers
Strokes
Ardak . Asked 9 years ago
Hi coaches!
During the game when I'm in backspin rally it is very uncomfortable to use topspin, even when ball is high enough. I have no time to hold the bat comfortable for me. I think there are problems in finger positions when I hold the bat. Which fingers are important in various strokes? or how do we use fingers in various strokes?

Hi Ardak,
First try to keep a similar grip for all of your strokes. See if you can hold the bat in a central position where it is balanced evenly in your hand. This will help to play both forehand and backhand strokes.
Watch our lesson on Get a Grip for how we recommend you hold the bat.

The backhand topspin is an attacking stroke that once mastered will win you lots of points. Try and learn this stroke alongside the forehand topspin.

Thanks. Must I try to learn forehand and backhand pushes in the position in which I hold the bat during the topspins?
Hi Ardak,
Yes try to keep a similar grip for all the basic shots.
