Topic: Forehand/Backhand Grip Posted: 05/08/2008 at 10:28am
When using a shakehand grip, are you supposed to proceed the same grip for forehand and backhand. ie. You play a forehand with a tight grip, and then do you simply switch over the side over the paddle for your backhand, keeping the same grip?
I use a Butterfly Michael Maze blade with a Bryce Speed on my forehand and a Sriver G2 on my backhand. Equally a backup, I have a Galaxy K-six bract, with a Sriver EL on forehand a Sriver FX on backhand.

What were the suggestions about the change? Was the modify performed more than with the index finger? ( up on the safety for forehand and down for back hand ) To get the idea of what I am saying, call up of looking at the back of your hand when hitting a forehand. Does your index finger indicate toward the peak border of the bract or the side border?

( up on the prophylactic for forehand and downwards for backhand ) To go the idea of what I am saying, recollect of looking at the dorsum of your hand when hitting a forehand. Does your index finger betoken toward the top edge of the blade or the side edge?" Is this correct way of play?

I agree and I'g thinking of Timo Boll in detail since his index finger is far up on the rubber when receiving a serve and when he hits forehands. During a rally I notice that he volition drop his alphabetize finger downwards next to his other iii where it appears that it is completely off the blade face when hit or looping his backhand.
Wang LiQuin(sp?) on the other paw ( no pun intended 
From all the vids and coaching articles I have seen there is a "classic" shakehand grip that appears neutral in favoring the BH or FH. When I get some time I will postal service some pics of various shakehand grips that I experiment with.

Post Options Thanks(0) QuoteAnswer Posted: 05/08/2008 at 1:47pm Don't try to copy a grip. In that location are not classical grips. Some meridian players use unlike shakehand grips for different shots. It depends on the height or the speed of the incoming brawl.
The most of import is to predict where and how the ball is going to return later on your initial shot so every bit to exist ready for the side by side shot. During the seminar, told us that we must make plans for two and not for one shot. If yous can do that and you lot are not close to the table you can take the fourth dimension to adjust your grips for perfect shots.
If you lot are close to the table don't change grips if you play passively at that place is non enough fourth dimension for changing grips.

Both. It feels awkward for sure. He inverse my grip just this final thursday and I put it to use on friday night. I missed a few shots I wouldn't accept missed earlier. The big difference is on serves later trying the new grip even while serving I find that my serves have less effect. Subsequently a few matches I revert back to old habit grip for the serves and sure enough I establish it to have more than result spinwise. Perhaps that's on the menu of things to learn...
The good news, I tin can run across the immediate improvement on hitting and loop strokes. My strokes are easier, more accurate, and I exert less energy while having more than ability and speed.
And.... Information technology turned out to be same exact grip that my quondam coach from china taught me. 3 years ago while I was trying to study chinese in china I got me a coach. Non a real, real coach. He was a university student studying physical education and majoring on TT. He taught me for a couple of months. I had nigh ane yr vacuum later that before I got more serious with playing TT. When I got dorsum to playing TT I used the aforementioned grip just after awhile my two fingers (thumb & forefinger) frequently went asleep
after playing awhile, especially if I play with more heavy loops. I then forego the grip and changed how I grip the handle to accomodate for the problem with my fingers.
I told my coach almost this. And he told me that the problem was that I held it too tight and put pressure on the incorrect fingers/spot. He looked at how I grip, my palm, and looked at my callouses. I take four callouses at different places. So he showed me his. Simply one at the cease/stub of his pinky. He told me that the I should hold the handle with the pinky holding the handle almost tight (only not dead tight), the two middle finger are barely at that place for stability, and to angle the bract with the middle finger every bit controller.

Get a Grip - YouTube
However many proficient players do have modest variations between the backhand and forehand and so don't worry too much if it is merely a modest variation. However if it is a big difference then I would recommend learning to continue it the same - because y'all volition get defenseless out.

As a thespian, it has been pointed out to me that I tend to change my grip slightly when changing from forehand to backhand. I didn't realise that I was doing it! Sometimes a subtle grip change can aid in providing that extra fleck of dial.

Information technology is practically incommunicable (not to mention admittedly wrong) not to change your grip a bit when switching from FH to BH or vice versa...
