Penhold or Shakehand
Strokes
Diego Tesoro Asked 11 years ago
Hi guys,
I am a beginner and I usually play penhold and i was fine with it. Then i started learning shakehand and was fine with it. Therefore i was confused whether to be a penholder or a shakehand player.
BTW i need an answer because i am buying a custom made bat.

Hi Diego,
It is just your personal preference. If you really don’t have a preference, then go for the shakehand grip. I think the shakehand grip is easier to develop your game initially.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
