Hi Raj,

Either grip can be used to become very good at table tennis.  Just see which one you are more comfortable with.

If you look for a well respected brand name and look at their range of penhold bats you can't go too far wrong.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
