hrishikesh bhaskar Asked 8 years ago

Sir good coaches tell to hold the bat with thumb on one side and index finger on other side and other 3 fingers loosely on handle.....how firmly should be index finger and thumb be? how loosely should be other 3 fingers?

Hi Hrishikesh,

Keep the grip as light as you possibly can without losing grip of the racket. In our video on Get a Grip we do a demonstration of how tight to hold the bat.

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.
