What is the best way of holding a bat? Most top Chinese players use a different fingering to normal people like me. I've tried their strokes but I don't know how to receive it using the backhand.

Hi John,

It seems to me that more and more Chinese are now using the shakehand grip but they still do have a lot of good players using the penhold grip. To see how to hold the bat correctly watch this video on the topic.

We also have a video on penhold techniques which will show you how to play the backhand using that grip.
