Strokes

Diego Tesoro Asked 10 years ago

Hi coaches, I've been training for a while now and i was wondering if i can turn over a new leaf and become a penholder.(btw im currently a shakehand player). A few months back I was actually a penholder but decided to become a shakehand player. Then, i want to go back to being a penholder because of numerous reasons. So, can i turn over a new leaf?

Hi Diego,

You can change back if you want to.  Just make sure you aren’t changing too often though.  I think if you change back this time you should just stay with it.

The more often you make major changes like this the more difficult it is to develop your game.

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.
