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.
