Ma Long's shakehand grip
Strokes
hrishikesh bhaskar Asked 10 years ago
Sir
Is Ma Long using shakehand shallow grip or shakehand deep grip?
Can the inflexible wrist in shakehand deep grip affect us in playing forehand drive?

Hi Hrishi,
Ma Long hold the bat quite close into his hand and you see the power that he can generate. He does have a flexible wrist even though he holds it up high because he is relaxed through the stroke.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
