Hi Rahul,

You are allowed to use any grip you like however the grips that we show you in our Get a Grip lesson are the two most recommended ways.

The method you talk about will have limitations on using your wrist effectively in your shots.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
