Positioning of fingers
Strokes
vinod bura Asked 12 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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

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.
