Pointer Finger Shakehand Grip
Strokes
Anthony Tran Asked 9 years ago
Hello Alois,
I have noticed that my pointer finger isn't flat but curved when playing strokes. Does the pointer finger have to be flat because I have difficulty keeping it flat.
Thanks

Hi Anthony,
It doesn't have to be flat but I find it gives you better control on the racket if it is flat on the rubber.

I use Shakehand Grip, I place my thumb over the rubber (pointed) is it a bad thing or a good thing or it is not allowed?
It is allowed. You don't want it too high on the rubber because that will mean you are tightening your hand. Try to keep it relied and in a natural position.
