Hi,
Thanks for your interest. We have a lesson available on our Youtube channel which will be useful for you. It shows you the basic techniques of the penhold grip and also it will show you the similarities of technique between penhold and shakehand.
Take a look at Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. After watching it you will see where you will be able to relate the rest of our lessons to your penhold game.
Question actions
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
