Hi I am holding my racket in a very unique way I hold it by using shakehand grip but except of putting one finger behind the racket I put four fingers so is it a foul way to hold my racket.

Hi Anshul,

You are allowed to hold the racket that way but it does have some limitations.

You will find that you are covering a lot of the backhand area of your racket.

You will also find that your wrist won't have as much flexibility when you have the four fingers on the back.

Try to change to the one finger on the back.  Give it a couple of weeks to adjust.
