How to hold the bat?
Strokes
Colton Colton Morrison Asked 14 years ago
I am holding it with just a thumb and all the other fingers on the handle I can't really play with anything else. I have decent spin but it's very difficult to slam and I'd like to become more advanced. Help???

Hi Colton,
Do you have the pointer finger on the rubber? This is an important part of the grip. It gives you a lot better control of the racket and feel as well.
It also give you stability of the grip so that it doesn't turn in your hand.

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.
