Hi. So I am a shakehanded player, but for the users who use the penhold grip. What kind of blade do you use. The Chinese penhold of the Japanese penhold.
Chinese Penhold:
Japanese Penhold:
From what I've read the Japanese penhold has your fingers extended straight down the blade while the Chinese has you curl your fingers. But there's obviously more to it than that. The japanese penhold has that different handle, and the head of the blade is more squared off, and players who use jap pen don't use the reverse backhand technique as much. So to the penhold users, which type do you use and why? And to the shakehand users (like myself) Which type of grip would you use if you were to go penhold? For me I think I would go Jap since I already prefer to use my forehand. Notable Chinese penhold users are: Xu Xin and Wang Hao, while notable Jap penhold include: Ryu Sueng-Min, and Lee Jungwoo
