Strokes
Hi Pingskills,
How does Zhang Jike hold the bat? I noticed that he doesn't hold it in the way you have shown us in your video for how to hold a bat.

Hi Nasko,
It is a similar grip. He tends to have it a little more of a backhand grip. This is very slight though. The basic grip still applies, you can modify a grip to suit your game but don't go too far from the basic.
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
