Shakehand and penhold grip

Strokes

nabeel noor Asked 14 years ago

Hello Coach,

What are the benefits of penhold grip.Is it more better than shakehand?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Nabeel,

The penhold grip allows you better use of your wrist so you will be able to genrate more spin. It is limited on the backhand side.

The grip you choose is purely a matter of personal preference. See which one feels more comfortable for you. Players using both grips have been World Champions so they both work.

Take a look at our lesson on how to Get a Grip.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
