Handshake grip fingers position
Strokes
Karim Abdel Asked 9 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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
