Hi guys, 

just a quick question. Is there a grip "between" penhold and shakehand?

Hi Tim,

You can hold the bat any way you like.  There is no rule.

The two main ways that players hold the bat tend to be the way it is easiest to play with.  However, if you find something that suits you then you can use any type of grip that you like.
