Penhold or Shakehand Can't decide...
Strokes
Phillip Tugok Asked 7 years ago
Hi there,
I'm Phillip and first of all, I love ping pong. I'm a complete amateur, but still I like playing it a lot!
My problem? My grip! I can't decide whether to choose Penhold or Shakehand... I feel comfortable with playing Penhold but I can't utilise the reverse Penhold as well as I can in Shakehand (but it's backhand), and I can't utilise the forehand as well in Shakehand as I can in Penhold.
I could really use some help... I really want to progress but my limitation for now is my grip :(

Hi Philllip,
This is a personal feel as there are world class players using both grips the technique will hold up whichever one you choose.
I would play with one only for a week and then change. At the end of the two weeks you can make a decision.
