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 ?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
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.
