Grip changes between sides
Strokes
Andy Chen Asked 4 years ago
Happy Holidays Coach Alois:
I am a shakehand, looping attacker (1,205) that play 3 ~ 4 times a week
sometimes, i don't have enough time switching grip from fh to bh (and vice versa)
QUESTION:
1) is it possible to use SAME grip for fh and bh and continue to grow my game?
2) do you think it's possible i might be standing too close to the table (after service or top-spin exchange)?
Thank you,

Hi Andy,
If you are having problems switching because of the grip then you need to find something that is more neutral. It doesn't have to be exactly the same but it needs to be close enough soo that you can adjust quickly enough for a fast ball to either side.
It probably isn't an issue of how slow you are standing because it sounds like you are worrying more about the grip change.
Keep the racket lighter in your hand and allow that subtle adjustment between the two sides.
