Use of Finger & Thumb
Strokes
Roger Willoughby Asked 12 years ago
Hi, can you please tell me if the finger & thumb are used merely to hold the bat or used to add a little extra speed to your shots. If so how and when are they used. Many Thanks Roger

Hi Roger,
The finger and thumb are primarily used for holding the bat. You should try to keep them relaxed through your strokes. If you tighten them you will start to get tight in the wrist and then also arm.

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.
