When i modify my shakehand grip for the serve, can i put my pointer finger more parallel to the handle or must I hold my pointer finger like when I do the normal shakehand grip?

Hi Lukas,

Yes you can change the index finger position so that it feels comfortable and you feel like you can get more spin.

Variation of Placement

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
