Strokes
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.
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

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.
