Hi Alois.

I saw a video of Ma Long teaching some strokes & his Grip.

He said I put my thumb on the rubber for the backhand and my racket won't wobble.

And It's easier to adjust the angle of the bat.

But the point is there that we have to change the grip fast.

I use a same shakehand  grip but my backhands doesn't have enough control and accuracy .

Can I use this little change of the grip?

I feel comfortable with that.

Hi Ali,

You can try to make the small changes.  It does get players a bit confused sometimes if they can't change quickly enough.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
