Proper Grip
Strokes
Steve Vaugier Asked 13 years ago
Coach. I have been taking instruction from a Chinese family in the area (2 sons and a mother). For some time the oldest is 18 now (starting college) and when he was competitive (15-16) he was 2520. Anyway, every one of them get on me about my grip (I keep moving my finger and thumb around); Shakehand grip. However, it seems that it is more natural for me to hold the blade like anything, but shakehand. It seems to me that I have a better range of motion and more flexibility in my wrist.
Also, I am ambidextrous and have a tendency to switch hands in the middle of a vo;;ey. I find it easier to use my way when switching.
Should I continue my way or try to adapt to the "proper" method. Any suggestion or comment would be appreciated, Steve

Hi Steve,
I would recommend the proper shakehand grip. YOu should also focus on using one hand. A combination of these two things will help you to reach your best.
It may seem difficult to start with but it will be worth it in the end.
