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.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
