Hi Patrick,

Yes there is a grip called the Seemiller grip.  It is where you have your thumb around ne side of the bat and your index finger around the other side.  It has the advantage of eliminating the crossover point but it does restrict the use of your wrist for strokes.

We would recommend either of the two traditional grips, the shakehand or penhold grips.  This will give you the best chance to reach the highest level for you that is possible.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
