Pictures Of Your GRIP!

regular shake hand grip.

for cpen, when serving, back 3 fingers curve up, when hit, back 3 fingers goes out, almost straight, but not quite.

Best of luck!!
It works for me.

Normally, my middle two fingers stay together and straight in forehand, but when i have to do backhand i tend to curl them for more flexibility in my wrist. I haven't tried Darker 90 yet, but I like my cho tokusen pretty good so far.

Please ask a specific question and I'll be happy to answer. I'm not sure if you're looking for a description of my technique and strategy or asking how is it possible?
:-).

I don't know how is possible to play with that grip. I have never seen that kind of grip. Thum (first finger from left side, on right hand) should be on fh side!!!

With regards to my grip . . . it works for me. I hit hard and accurate shots from anywhere I can reach, especially right at me. I've seen some little kids use this modified grip, but I'm the only adult. Well, I don't mind being childlike as long as I keep scoring big people points. . I'm not saying I have the best grip, but it seems best for me. I also think players living in Canada or USA needs to try something new because we are NOT competitive globally. Last time I was in China I had a crowd of over 50 around my table as I played. I tried not to ignore them and focus on the game, but it was clear they were fascinated by my grip and style. After I spanked one of their friends I noticed players around the club trying it and shaking their heads, as to say, "How the FXCK can he play this way?" Find what works for you and ignore what everyone else says to do . . . that's been my motto. The difficult thing is to find a coach that will roll with what I got. Every time I get a coach sooner or later they say, "Have you thought of changing your grip?" That's usually the end of the marriage. LOL weeooo!

I can see this grip is good at blocking. But at a higher level (internationally), blocking isn't going to get you anywhere. So until somebody suceeds (say top 20) at international level, this grip can only be considered a niche grip for amature players

:-). Hey, I have over 2500 posts. I don't know whether to celebrate or jump off a bridge!

Seemiller's #17 is old school tt #17. Even the later chinese traditional fast smashing pips out style which once ruled the world has died at top level. Modern tt is simply dominated by shake hand and to a lesser degree pen grip with pips in rubber, loop drive offsensive style.

I play a standard shakehand and sometimes various penhold grips depending how much my fingers hurt or if I want a different angle.
