Liu Guoliang made a statement that he believed that pen hold players were better then shakehanded players. The Chinese National Team head coach made this statement which bought along the tournament, Shakehand vs Penhold 2011.

This amazing tournament consisted of two teams. The penhold team was Olympic champions Ma Lin and Ryu Seung Min and Chinese sensation Wang Hao. The shakehand team consisted of Ma Long, Zhang Jike and Germany's Timo Boll. In the picture below you can see the two teams promoting the event.

So TTD members and viewers this has bought me along to ask the question. What grip do you think is better..... the shakehand or penhold grip?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two grips. Perhaps you feel both grips equal in terms of playing.
Perhaps we can use today's players to indicate whether their grips give them an advantage over their opponents. Does Wang Hao's pen hold grip give him that advantage over Timo Boll's shakehand grip?
Who can back up Liu Guoliang's statement.
