This is the third year that I practice table tennis I am Italian. and a bit of time I am passionate to see the matches of a very good table tennis player who played in the 90's but his name and Patrick Chila and his grip is really strange I can explain how do you play with that handle really abnormal? thanks Alessandro
Hi Alessandro,
It is great that you have found the passion for Table Tennis. Chila had a slightly dropped wrist and sometimes his finger would get up a little higher when he played but apart from that he had quite a normal grip. He was a very exciting player to watch at his best.
