Hello, i watched the video on YouTube about practicing some skills alone. I am a penholder, should i do these exercises holding the paddle penhold mode? Or shakehand mode?

Hi Jorge,

You would be best to do these using the penhold grip.  Some of the skills may be awkward but give them a try. The idea behind doing these skills is to develop control for when you play a game so using the penhold grip would be best for you.

Service Grips

The penhold grip has a natural advantage when it comes to serving due to the increased wrist movement that is allows. However shakehand players can modify their normal grip to give them the same advantage. Learn how in this master class.
