Holding the bat
Strokes
Vaidotas Dambrauskas Asked 13 years ago
Are there any big differences with different bat holding techniques?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Vaidotas,
The main difference is that the shakehand grip allows an easier backhand and the penhold grip allows more use of the wrist and therefore more spin.
BOth grips allow you to reach the very highest level.

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.
