Yes, that's why I invested the time to learn to hit without changing grips. It's uncomfortable at first, but after a while you get used to it. The choice is up to you.

Hi,

I agree with Budric. When I play shakehand, I do not have to change grips, and while it can be uncomfortable, you get used to it.

Your not supposed to have to change grip at all with shakehand.  The ways it's set up, the thumb supports backhand shots while the index finger supports for fh shots.

Eh I don't agree with that.  You should be able to do anything with a proper shakehand grip.

I have a slight change for forehand. It feels more comfortable.
