how do you hold a ping pong paddle

I. Horizontal paddle grip:

1, shallow grip: middle finger, ring finger, little finger naturally hold the handle, thumb in the front of the racket lightly next to the middle finger, the index finger naturally straight diagonally placed in the back of the racket, tiger's mouth slightly stick to the beat. The extension line between the index finger and the middle finger is at an angle of 30 degrees.

2, deep grip and shallow grip is basically the same, but the tiger's mouth close to the racket, the two is a difference in strength only, choose which depends on personal preference.

Second, straight grip:

1, big pincer grip: thumb and forefinger clamp handle, the first knuckle of the thumb to press the left shoulder of the racket; the second knuckle of the forefinger is close to the right shoulder of the handle, the first knuckle pressed beat surface; racket back three fingers apart to support the shooting. Advantage is that the racket grip is more stable, can effectively use the upper arm and forearm to focus on power.

2, center pincer grip: the first finger of the thumb pressed the left shoulder of the racket; the third section of the index finger close to the right shoulder of the handle, the index finger one or two sections of the racket surface. The back of the racket is half-extended and half-curved with the three fingers resting on the racket.

3, small pincer grip: before the beat, the distance between the thumb and forefinger is small, the grip is shallow. The advantage is that the fingers, wrist force is more flexible, but not conducive to power. Because the stability of the grip is slightly worse, it is not easy to hit the ball at high pressure.

4, index finger hook handle grip: thumb close to the handle, index finger buckle handle (Japanese straight racket handle protruding can be buckled, Chinese straight racket can not), forming a ring around the handle.

5, chipping grip: thumb against the left side of the handle, the first knuckle force downward pressure, the muzzle of the tiger against the handle and the left shoulder of the curved part of the racket, so that the racket is fixed. The index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are stretched out to support the back of the racket, and the index finger is attached to the outside of the back of the racket with the first and second knuckles.
