GRIP- The manner in which competitive
players grip their bats/rackets can be classified into
two major family of styles
> Penhold
> Shakehand
But, numerous variations on gripping styles exist.
![Page 3: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
GRIP - SHAKEHAND
- Try imagining shaking hands with your racket
- Pointy finger pointing downwards & thumb across the other side
- Don’t grip too firmly (it hinders your capacity to generate spin)

GRIP - SHAKEHAND
![Page 5: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
COMMON QUESTION?
Why not use the forehand grip from holding a lawn tennis racket?
>>It’s a little unstable
>>Having the pointy finger pointing downwards gives you more control over the racket and helps you determine which angle is your racket at

GRIP - PENHOLD
- Try imagining holding a pen using the handle of your racket
Advantage:• No crossover • The wrist has more movement and
flexibility
Disadvantage: • Backhand is a little difficult to execute

>> Spin exceptions are smash, block and lob
Offensiv
eDefensive
![Page 11: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
1. Speed Drive
2. Loop Drive
3. Counter Drive
4. Flip (Flick in Europe)
5. Smash
![Page 12: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
- the racket is perpendicular to the direction of the stroke when executed
- focused on speed than spin
- used mostly to keep the ball in play, applying pressure on the opponent to return their shots as fast as they can
SPEED DRIVE
![Page 13: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
- reverse of speed drive
- racket is parallel to the direction of the stroke
- it will arc quite a bit
- not as difficult to return as speed drive but will likely to rebound off the opponents racket at a high angle, easy for a smash
LOOP DRIVE
![Page 14: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
>> Categorized in 3 variations by the Chinese players:
1. The “Loop” – slower; ultra-topspin; has a higher trajectory; more loopy arc
2. The “Rush” – combination of loop & speed drive; as fast as a speed drive & has a flatter trajectory as a loop if it bounces; it spins
3. The “Hook” – top-side spin; bounces sideways/downwards upon hitting the table
LOOP DRIVE – 3 CATEGORIES
![Page 15: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
- it’s usually a counter attack against drives
- racket is near the ball, hit with a short movement “off the bounce” (before reaching the highest point) , hence the ball travels faster to the other side
- with timing & accuracy, it can be effective as a smash
COUNTER DRIVE
![Page 16: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
- a short topspin stroke played from over the table, using mainly the wrist and forearm, typically against a short serve or push
- it can also be a backswing that is compressed to a quick wrist action
FLIP (OR FLICK IN EUROPE)
![Page 17: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5 / 5 OFFENSIVE STROKES
- A forceful shot with an emphasis on speed.
- It is a power stroke that will have the intention of winning the point. Also known as a flat hit or kill.
- Usually executed when the opponent has returned a ball that bounces too high and/or close to the net
SMASH
![Page 18: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
1. Slice
2. Chop
3. Block
4. Push Block
5. Side Drive
6. Lob
7. Stop
![Page 19: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- the racket cuts underneath, imparting a backspin and causing the ball to float slowly to the other side of the table
- it’s used to make it too short to be attacked rather than to over-spin
SLICE
![Page 20: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- a chop is bigger & heavier than slice, taken well back from the table
- has so much backspin that the ball rises & is difficult to return
- difficult to execute since it takes a tremendous amount of spin to return the ball over the net
CHOP
![Page 21: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- short or simple shot, barely worthy of being called a stroke (since it’s not a full swing)
- it is executed by simply putting the racket in front of the ball then the ball rebounds back toward the opponent
BLOCK
![Page 22: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- adding a small topspin movement to the ball
- it entails a little push / and a slanting angle of the racket
PUSH BLOCK OR ACTIVE BLOCK
![Page 23: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- this is alternately used as defensive / offensive maneuver
- it puts a spin on the ball either to the right or left
- its execution is similar to slice but the rackets angle is sideward not downward
SIDE DRIVE
![Page 24: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- it’s deceptive & the most visually-impressive shot
- it is done by lifting the ball to enormous height before it falls back to the opponents side
- it’s unpredictable because of its heavy amounts of spin
LOB
![Page 25: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
7 / 7 DEFENSIVE STROKES
- it’s a high level stroke, used as another variation for close-to-table strokes (like slice)
- it’s done by positioning your body close to the ball and just let the ball touch the racket without any hand movement
STOP OR DROP SHOT
![Page 26: Styles of play](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/54be801b4a795914378b4621/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
