Hi Alois,

I was wondering how to do a backhand chop as a pen holder? Is there a difference between the technique for shake hand and  penhold?

Thanks

Hi Kabeer,

The basis are the same.  You can either use the front side or the reverse side to make contact.

The leg, start and finish positions remain the same, it is a matter of getting the racket into a good position to make the stroke, which can be more awkward with the penholder grip.  That is one of the reasons there are not many penholder choppers.
