Shakehand grip

Hi Alois & Jeff,

I hold my paddle shakehand style .  However, when I forehand return the ball I moved my indexed finger about half an inch or little less toward the middle of the paddle. This gives me solid contact of the ball. Do you advice me to move back my index finger toward the edge of the paddle like you showed on your video?

Thanking for your advice.

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,

I would try to keep the finger in the same position for the forehand as well.  This will allow you quicker ability to change form one side to the other when you don't know where the ball is coming.
