I currently use the traditional chinese penhold grip where the paddle is held like a pen, with fingers curled on the back and I use a chinese penhold bat with rubber on one side only. But right now, I am considering switching to the reverse penhold grip, a fairly new grip where the reverse side of the padder is used for the backhand.
I am looking for advice whether I should switch, if I switch, then I would have to get a paddle with rubber on both sides which would increase the weight of the paddle. If I did switch, do you think that I should practice it out a little bit to see if I like the feel first, or is this the "way to go" in this modern world? If I stayed with the chinese penhold grip, does anyone have any pointers on improving my backhand loop? I can push, chop, and block just fine, it is the loop that can be a little tricky.
i hate the penhold grip. no backhand what so ever
