Why do some penholders switch their grip to shakehand when they smash? Like Wang Zengyi and Ma Lin? Is it powerful?
Hi Jason,
I think it is just more comfortable to smash. They often change the side of the racket they are using for this ball as well because they feel the backhand rubber they are using is easier to smash with.
