Hi Hari,
There is no difference between the principles of shakehand and penhold forehand.
The important part of getting more speed is to generate more racket speed. You can also get the ball moving faster if you hit the ball flatter. However hitting the ball flatter reduces your margin of error.
You should stay with one grip otherwise you are reducing your effective training time.

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.
