The Wikipedia unusual grips

[PenHoldSandro]

On the grips section of Wikipedia's page about TT grips, you can see a subsection called, "unusual grips"
They are very odd.

What are your opinions on them?

Yes the the fingers are on BH and he is BH oriented, plants the thumb in the middle, still finds time to change grips, incredible…

What I found particularly painful is the lack of proper referencing in the article.

"Alessandro's V Created by V-Grip pioneer Alessandro G..."

"This grip improves both offense and defense, and is considered as one of the more innovative grips of modern Table Tennis."

I don't see how any of this is credible

The changed grip is penhold, right?
If so, it is pretty easy to do that

How about the grips?

How about the grips?

The grips aren't notable enough to warrant a mention in a Wikipedia article. It's a bit like writing an article about how kids hold a spoon; not worth writing about.

Nope, it is like the “claw” for FH and normal “Shakehand” with an accentuated thumb for BH…
