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.
Learning to play the forehand topspin (also known as the forehand loop) in table tennis is one of the biggest steps forward you can take with your game. The topspin will cause the ball to dip down allowing you to hit the ball harder yet still maintaining consistency.
