Hi alois

Can one be playing a penhold and shake hand style with the same bat in a match.  I have a light bat and find that some stroke are easy to play using the pen hold grip.  Is this legal?

Hi Sonny,

This is legal but not advisable.  It is difficult to change grips in time during a match.  You are better to play with one grip.
