Hi Hrishikesh,

The shallow grip will allow for more leverage of the bat and therefore more speed and spin of the racket head.  Follow the same principles of the Forehand Topspin and just allow your wrist to relax and flow through the stroke.  You may need to focus on how much tension you need in the fingers to make sure the racket doesn't slip out, but you don't need a lot of tension to keep it in place.
