Should I switch grips?
Strokes
Lukas Haraldsen Asked 11 years ago
Hi guys.
So earlier today, I switched from penhold to shakehand, and my spin and backside were a lot better. My forehand and smashes were a bit worse though. But in general I was playing better. Should I keep playing shakehand and just practice my forehand, or should I switch back to penhold? Lukas

Hi Lukas,
If it feels more comfortable stay with it for a while. Give it a week or more though before you make a decision. Often when we make a change it all feels good because it is new. Let that novelty factor wear off and then see what you think.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
