Use of Finger & Thumb

Strokes

Roger Willoughby Asked 13 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.

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.
