Hi, I was wondering if I should play with a penhold grip or a shake hand grip. I can play with both equally as good, but sometimes i would use the penhold and lose, but switch to shake hand grip and win, but sometimes it's the opposite

Hi Sunshine,

This is really a matter of preference.  I would play with one grip for a couple of weeks and then change to the other for a couple of weeks.  Then make your decision.
