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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
