Hi Alois and Jeff!

What should be the angle of racket while smashing and looping be in penhold? How should be follow through while smashing or looping in penhold?

Thank you!

Hi Harikrishnan,

The follow through and angle of the racket for the penhold should be the same as for the shakehand for the forehand loop and smash. You can watch our lessons on the forehand loop and smash strokes as the principles will be very similar regardless of whether you are using a penhold or shakehand grip.
