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.

The Push in Detail

The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
