For the reverse penhold grip am i supposed to be curling my arm and flicking it or just flat?

Hi Matt,

Start by trying to hit the ball flat.  The key is to get the bat into a position that you can hit it flat which involves keeping your fingers nice and flexible.

It is a lot like the shakehand backhand but the awkward part is getting the bat into the right position.

Good luck with the stroke.  It will be really effective when you have mastered it.
