Hi coach,
Am I allowed to touch the racket with my free hand to switch up my grip mid-rally? Like if I serve with a penhold grip then use my free hand to touch the racket and switch up to shakehand grip. Is this allowed?
Thanks

Hi Feras,
Yes that is permitted. Some players do this however, I think try to have a grip that you can change easily without having to rely on you other hand as this will be slow and you will run out of time in a faster rally.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
