But it is still experimental, so maybe there'll be a trick in the future where BH or FH using V-Grip will be deadly, or maybe something else altogether.

Interesting... I don't really have anything to say with or against it :/

It absolutely is not better than the Shakehand BH as of now, but maybe it'll change in the future. That's why I flip the BH, stated here.

Uh I was talking about the V-Grip, not Penhold. I was using an analogy of TPB for how I use V-Grip's forehand.

Oh thx man

You make a good point. But who knows, it's an experimental grip. Surprisingly, its backhand is strong. It may be the angle of your arm for the grip, but the backhand of this grip is quite powerful, maybe stronger than Jpen and Cpen. Idk tho, I'm still quite new to the V-Grip and TT as a whole.

Hi everyone. Just for information, what does each type of rubber do and what're its usages? Specifically, short, medium, and long pips, as well as inverted and anti spin. What type of player is best suited for these rubbers?

Fair enough, but what I prefer to do for FH is flipping the bat from the BH, much like how you do with Jpen, but in reverse?? This leads to using the BH side for FH. This FH is used as an emergency for instances where you cannot perform a quality backhand. This is just my experience, I hope...

Hello! I've recently heard about the experimental V-grip, and I wanted to see what're your experiences and notes while using the grip. Thank you! To those who don't know, the V-grip is where you put the thumb and index finger on the forehand side, and the last three in the backhand side. This...

Hi, I play Jpen SP. I am wondering how to do the backhand stroke and the backhand punch. How do you do it?

ohh ok

Why not though? There are many people here...

It has one big limitation and advantage, for me it cancels out XD But yeah, its backhand is really weak. Wonder how RSM did it

I really hope Jpen comes back into relevancy, cuz it's a really beautiful style

Ohh ok ok so it's more of tradition than relevance?

Oh, ok! I really like Jpen too, and I see it to be really interesting. You made great points about the downfall of Penhold, but I really just enjoy the form more than that of shakehand. If you don't like Jpen, it is ok with me. But I just want to learn more about this style! I have never...

Oh ok. But is 1 ply really better than multiple layers? (for Jpen)

Oh really? How so? Shakehand primarily focuses on both forehand and backhand, making it reliable, albeit not too powerful on both ends. Cpen's fingers are curled, leading to weaker offense but the ability to create the iconic RPB. Jpen's fingers are straight, maximizing attack on the forehand...

I recently bought the Palio 8603 over the Yinhe 985, and I am confused about what the Ti+Carbon means on the blade. As an extra question, what does 5+2+2 ply mean?

What is the form needed in order to perform this technique?
