Hi Sanket,

If you are finding it difficult with the penhold grip then give the shakehand a try.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore go with the one that feels more comfortable for you.

At the top level, more players are using the shakehand grip now.

Take a look at our tutorial on Get a Grip for some tips.

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.
