Hi Harikrishnan,

Whether you are penhold or shakehand you should have a loose grip.  This will allow you flexibility in your wrist and it will enable you to keep your arm more relaxed as well.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
