Penhold smash

Strokes

Hi Alois, 

Is there any difference in the technique for a forehand smash using the penhold grip rather than the shake hand grip?

PS.  Pingskills have helped me greatly and have allowed me to improve dramatically through developing my technique. Thank you Alois and Jeff.

Hi Kabeer,

No difference.  The principles are the same.

Glad that we are able to help you with your development.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
