Using Penhold blade for Shakehand

Equipment

Benzene Chiral Asked 7 years ago

Hihi Pingskills, last Christmas my senior gave me a penhold racket, and I gave it to my friend. He prefers shakehand. Is it fine to use shakehand grip on a racket designed for penhold? And likewise, is it okay to use penhold grip on a racket designed for shakehand grip?

Hi Benzene,

It is OK to use a shakehand blade for penhold.

However trying to use a penhold blade for shakehand can feel uncomfortable because the handle isn't long enough.
