Penhold or Shakehand
Strokes
Diego Tesoro Asked 10 years ago
Hi guys,
I am a beginner and I usually play penhold and i was fine with it. Then i started learning shakehand and was fine with it. Therefore i was confused whether to be a penholder or a shakehand player.
BTW i need an answer because i am buying a custom made bat.

Hi Diego,
It is just your personal preference. If you really don’t have a preference, then go for the shakehand grip. I think the shakehand grip is easier to develop your game initially.
