Two Penhold grip style for RPB, One is beneficial for forehand, and the other for backhand. One grip style is represented by Felix Lebrun, the other is XuXin.
How about Wang Hao, the best RPB player, his grip is beneficial for the forehand? I think the second grip is more like a balanced grip. th-cam.com/video/2ob3XIZaE8s/w-d-xo.html
Since you've already watched Wang Hao's video, let me share my thoughts. Wang Hao, as the top player of RPB , has a reason for that. The reason is Wang Hao's amazing wrist strength, which makes him an ambidextrous player. From Wang Hao's grip perspective, his backhand is formidable, but his forehand is also very powerful.
i mean i dont understand why having the fingers flat would be so bad aslong as they are parallel and not spreading out to much downwards, xuxin has very big hands and still puts the fingers on the blade with no curl like wanghao or dang qui. Sure he is a forehand oriented player but his backhand is still strong aswell.
I watched a recent video of Xu Xin, and he also addressed this issue. In the video, he mentioned that his grip is favorable for forehand but not ideal for backhand. He acknowledged that his backhand is not strong and mentioned the importance of bending the fingers for a better backhand. However, from the perspective of amateurs like us, his backhand is already quite impressive, though he may feel it's not good enough. Xu Xin also shared a point that keeping the fingers bent helps in avoiding hitting the ball to the fingers. Unlike professionals like him, amateurs cannot consistently hit the ball in a specific part of the racket, so bending the fingers can improve the success rate of shots and reduce the chances of hitting the ball to the fingers.However, as I mentioned in the video, there are a hundred different grip way to one hundred penholders, and the best one is the one that suits you.
@@tabletennisskill3599 thx for the answer would it be possible to have such videos where pro players explain things translated and uploaded to the channel? i think there is a wider interest for the opinion of chinese players especially exotic ones line xu xin for many but sadly most of us lack the ability to understand chinese or the access to such video material
I was inspired by Xu Xin to create this video. Due to copyright reasons (I have already received a warning from TH-cam), directly uploading the original video is not feasible. I'll explore the possibility of uploading a edited version of Xu Xin's video instead.@@sebastiank6629
Should I press my backhand fingers more strongly when I pull back my arm for the forehand or backhand loop, so they dont slide forward from the forward momentum when finishing the stroke?
@@noah7477 I don't quite understand what you're saying , but you should grip the paddle tightly instantly at the moment of hitting the ball and maintain your pressure on the paddle.

When do forehand loop, use the strength of the middle finger and ring finger more; when the backhand attack, press the racket downward with the thumb
@tabletennisskill3599 for the forehand, should I apply pressure as I pull my arm back?
