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?

Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago

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.
