I thought EmRatThich did a very nice job in this video explaining how to use the fingers in this video. In previous videos he discussed how the racket is primarily held by these fingers, something that was only explained to me by a young Chinese trained player who coached me for a few lessons. There are many reasons for this, but primarily to gain greater feeling and wrist flexibility. Enjoy!

Off my bat... I think, and have stated this here previously that these finger placement discussions and recommendations might be a somewhat individual thing.
