Is it my bat or my technique
Strokes
Christopher Dent Asked 9 years ago
hi Alois,
I use a donic dotec blade with an ergonomic handle which I really like, but when I change from a forehand shot to a backhand I turn my bat ever so slightly closed, and I feel It then doesn't sit quite right in my hand, should I change my technique, my bat or persevere? thanks , christopher.

Hi Christopher,
I think you just need to focus on the technique of your grip. Try to find a comfortable position with your hand that will be good for both Forehand and backhand. It may take a little adjusting. Keep your hand nice and relaxed and see if you can find that sweet spot.

Hi there,
First of all, make sure you use your DOTEC blade the right way. I was interested in those blades at some point and I played with one for 5 minutes. It's really not obvious to know what's the forehand side and what's the backhand, and I've read in forums that some held it the wrong way for years ! : o ) You can read about this here for example. And as you surely know, when you buy such blade, you have to specify whether your righthanded or lefthanded, because there are different. So if you have bought your blade second hand and didn't know this, you may have the wrong one.

Thanks for the comment Jean, yes I hold it the right way, and it feels very comfortable on the forehand, It;s when I turn it a little closed on the backhand , because its a little closed it doesn't feel quite so stable in my hand .
