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.

The Push in Detail
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
