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

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

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

Page 6: Styles of play

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

UNUSUAL GRIP – V- GRIP

2 TYPES OF STROKES OR SHOTS

>> Spin exceptions are smash, block and lob

Offensiv

eDefensive

Page 11: Styles of play

5 OFFENSIVE STROKES

1. Speed Drive

2. Loop Drive

3. Counter Drive

4. Flip (Flick in Europe)

5. Smash

Page 12: Styles of play

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 DEFENSIVE STROKES

1. Slice

2. Chop

3. Block

4. Push Block

5. Side Drive

6. Lob

7. Stop

Page 19: Styles of play

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
