penhold and shakehand grips
Strokes
Hari Krishnan Asked 13 years ago
hi sir,
these are the conclusions i have got after i had done a study on the penhold and shakehand grip. please tell me if iam right.
PENHOLD
ADVANTAGES.
*STRONGER FOREHAND
*REVERSE PENHOLD TOPSPIN HAS SIDESPIN
*MORE SPIN
*MORE WRIST FLEXIBILITY
DISADVANTAGES
*BACKHAND IS WEAK IF YOU USE KOREAN JAPANESE BACKHAND
*YOU HAVE A CROSSOVERPOINT IF YOU USE THE REVERSE PENHOLD
*YO HAVE A CROSSOVER POINT BETWEEN WHETHER TO USE KOREAN JAPANESE BACKHAND OR REVERSE PENHOLD.
*LESS COCHES TEACHING THIS GRIP.
*CANNOT EASILY DO A TOPSPIN WITHOUT SIDESPIN IN REVERSE PENHOLD.
SHAKEHAND GRIP
ADVANTAGE
*PROVIDES EQUAL POWER FOR FOREHAND AND BACKHAND.
*MAJORITY OF COACH TEACH THIS GRIP.
*CAN PLAY AN ALL ROUND GAME.
DISADVANTAGES
*HAS A CROSSOVER POINT
THANK YOU!

Hi Hari,
You have a pretty good summary there.
The RPB with sidespin could be an advantage and a disadvantage.

The Finish Position
There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.
