hi,

i am a shakehand player. i practiseed hard to confuse my opponent with my serves but i was unsuccessful. so i started to practise to serve with penhold grip and i found it very useful too. but my question is that if this technique of changing grip in the same point against the rules?another question i want to ask is how can i change grip from penhold to shakehand quickly?and also can you provide me some useful tricks during the pendulum serve?

thanking u

bhaavan

Hi Bhavaan,

You are allowed to change grips during a point.  But try using the modified shakehand grip to serve with.  Loosen the last 3 fingers on your racket.  This will allow you to use your wrist the same way as you do with the penhold grip and then it is easier to revert back to your normal shakehand grip.

This is shown in our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.
