Hi Alois and Jeff

I was just wondering is it better to be a penholder or a shakehander as i am a   penhold player right now?

Hi Feldman,

This is totally a matter of personal preference. There are great players that play with penhold and others that play with shakehand.

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
