Serve Penhold play shakehand

Strokes

Can I serve with penhold and then play on with shakehand??

thank you!

Hi Kevin,

You are allowed to do that. A better solution though is to serve with a modified shakehand grip. Take the 3 fingers away from the handle and put them in a fist behind the handle. This will allow you to use your wrist the same way as a penholder does.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
