Changing grips
Strokes
Jared Peterson Asked 11 years ago
Hello Jeff and Alois,
I noticed that my shake hand grip is primarily favorable to the forehand side with my finger a little more vertical than normal which limits a strong back hand attack. Is it alright to change grips constantly between a backhand favored grip and a FH favored grip? Or should i just suck it up and try and get used to a more equal grip, which would be better for an improving beginner table tennis player.?

Hi Jared,
In short, it is best to stay with the same grip because in faster rallies you just don't have time to be changing.

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.
