Hi , I have a shakehand grip and is quite comfortable while playing strokes with that but some of my seniors said that when you learn more and more about the game and want to increase  your game , you should change your grip ( that is not from shakehand to penhold ) but change your fingers position on your bat  . So can you give me some tips on this and what should be my grip to increase my accuracy , consistency and speed during the game .

Hi Tushar,

I recommend keeping a very similar grip throughout.  This will help you with consistency and accuracy.

You can move your fingers very slightly between forehand and backhand if you have a lot of time but most of the time keep it the same.  Remember it is about keeping this game simple.
