Hi Pingskills,

How does Zhang Jike hold the bat? I noticed that he doesn't hold it in the way you have shown us in your video for how to hold a bat.

Hi Nasko,

It is a similar grip.  He tends to have it a little more of a backhand grip.  This is very slight though.  The basic grip still applies, you can modify a grip to suit your game but don't go too far from the basic.
