Hi coach, I' ve read that chinese put the forefinger not along the bat but near the middle (between along and the middle) you see? I have tested and I find the control is better and I the feeling is also better when the ball arrive on the bat what do you think about that? no problem with the backhand.thanks (shake hand grip )

Hi Martinand,
I think keeping it low is best. Keep the hand relaxed. The control may feel better because there is less movement in the wrist but it also limits the movement of the hand.
