Hi Eirik,

I certainly wouldn't question too much about what Ma Long does.  If he is doing it I think the first thing I do is see why he does it.

I don't feel like Jeff and I change our grip very much.  In which situations do you see it?

from backhand to forehand. you have ur thumb up both on forehand on backhand on forehand, but jeff changes his grip a bit more than u. i know that u can use more wrist buy changing grip and make ur pointer finger shorter in backhand and longer in forehand. ive seen it when jeff is showin us backhand loop, and counter hit. and when u are blocking, cant remember the videos. 

 

A new question. how hard is it for you to have exact the same grip? and did u lose points because u changed grip, when u played as a player?

I think keeping a similar grip is useful so that when the ball comes fast at you it is easier to cope on both sides.  There will always be a little bit of change.  I never felt I had an issue with my grip when playing.
