Holding Bat

Strokes

vineeth agarwal Asked 14 years ago

Is it necessary to hold the bat in either shake hand or pen hold style?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Vineeth,

It isn't necessary but those grips are tested and tried to be able to allow you to play your strokes well.

If you have found something that suits you better give it a go but also try out the standard grips.

in shakehand grip,we have only one finger in contact with the rubber of our bat.but i feel more comfortable using two fingers.is that alright?

The problem with having two fingers on the back is that you can't move your wrist as well. It locks your wrist a little so it is best to just have one finger on the back.
