I am confused whether to use shakehand grip or penhold grip.  I can play in both styles.  In penhold my forehand is strong and in shakehand my backhand is strong..so i am utterly confused..please help me

Hi Vineeth,

You need to find for yourself what feels best because both are legitimate styles that you can reach a high level with.  Play a few games with different players and see which works best for you.

Once you make your decision though, stay with it and don't keep changing because you will lose time in your progress.
