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.

Forehand Smash
The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.

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.
