Penhold & shakehand
Strokes
Thangavel Vibeeshan Thangavel family Asked 4 years ago
I'm a modern penholder, now days everyone's says it's old & difficult to topspin, movement, footwork etc.
But I like penhold, is that ok with penhold to upgrade my state levels by using this grip.
And I'm 6 feet height & also learned backhand grip of modern penhold.
And can I switch penhold to shakehand grip is that ok to handle?

Hi Thangavel,
There are still a lot of high level player playing with the penholder grip. It is OK to stay with this grip.
I think it is best to stay with one grip throughout a match otherwise you will waste too much time and effort switching between the two.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
