Handshake grip fingers position
Strokes
Karim Abdel Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois / Jeff
Some people advice that index and thumb should point to the ground in the shakehand grip ready position .. what is the reason behind this and would it enhance the strokes ?

Hi Karim,
The fingers should both point in the same direction across your bat. This means they will be in a natural position and also allow your wrist to be more relaxed.
The relaxed position is important to allow you to play your strokes correctly.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
