Ma Long's shakehand grip

hrishikesh bhaskar Asked 9 years ago

Sir

Is Ma Long using shakehand shallow grip or shakehand deep grip?

Can the inflexible wrist in shakehand deep grip affect us in playing forehand drive?

Hi Hrishi,

Ma Long hold the bat quite close into his hand and you see the power that he can generate. He does have a flexible wrist even though he holds it up high because he is relaxed through the stroke.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
