Hari Krishnan Asked 14 years ago
hi sir,
these are the conclusions i have got after i had done a study on the penhold and shakehand grip. please tell me if iam right.
PENHOLD
ADVANTAGES.
*STRONGER FOREHAND
*REVERSE PENHOLD TOPSPIN HAS SIDESPIN
*MORE SPIN
*MORE WRIST FLEXIBILITY
DISADVANTAGES
*BACKHAND IS WEAK IF YOU USE KOREAN JAPANESE BACKHAND
*YOU HAVE A CROSSOVERPOINT IF YOU USE THE REVERSE PENHOLD
*YO HAVE A CROSSOVER POINT BETWEEN WHETHER TO USE KOREAN JAPANESE BACKHAND OR REVERSE PENHOLD.
*LESS COCHES TEACHING THIS GRIP.
*CANNOT EASILY DO A TOPSPIN WITHOUT SIDESPIN IN REVERSE PENHOLD.
SHAKEHAND GRIP
ADVANTAGE
*PROVIDES EQUAL POWER FOR FOREHAND AND BACKHAND.
*MAJORITY OF COACH TEACH THIS GRIP.
*CAN PLAY AN ALL ROUND GAME.
DISADVANTAGES
*HAS A CROSSOVER POINT
THANK YOU!

Hi Hari,
You have a pretty good summary there.
The RPB with sidespin could be an advantage and a disadvantage.

Banana Flick
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
