Positioning of fingers
Strokes
vinod bura Asked 13 years ago
i use handshake grip. when i start playing the game my fore finger moves a bit upward which i usually use to give direction to the ball when playing with forehand. while playing backhand i use my thumb to give direction to the ball. Can i continue with this kind of playing or change to standard handshake grip.

Hi Vinod,
You can move your fingers a little while playing but it is best to have a fairly standard grip. When the ball comes quickly it is hard to change your grip in time to adjust if you have different grips for the two sides.

thank you for the suggestion but iam used to these kind of movements, it might be difficult to change my movements. how can i get use to this standard grip and to forget these previous movements.
