The first is the pincer grip. That is, the thumb and index finger clamp the racket handle. The first knuckle of the thumb presses against the left shoulder of the racket; the second knuckle of the index finger presses against the right shoulder of the racket handle. The first knuckle presses the racket surface, so the pincer shape is larger. The middle finger, Wumingyang and little finger on the back of the racket are stretched out to split the rest.

The second is the middle tong grip. The thumb is held like a large plier, the third section of the index finger is close to the right shoulder of the racket handle, and the first and second sections press the racket surface, so the clamp shape is moderate, and the distance between the thumb and index finger is about 2-3 centimeters. The three fingers on the back of the racket are half extended and half curved to support the racket.

The third is the small pincer grip. The thumb and index finger hold the handle of the racket, and the distance is very close, less than 1 cm (commonly known as "hanging racket"). The three fingers on the back of the racket are bent and stacked to support the racket.

The fourth is the index finger hook handle (Japanese style) grip. That is, the thumb is close to the handle of the racket, and the index finger clasps the handle to form a ring around the handle. The middle finger on the back of the racket should be stretched straight against the middle of the racket, and the ring finger and little finger should also be stretched straight and stacked next to the middle finger.

The fifth is the grip of the ball. That is, the thumb sticks to the left side of the racket handle, the first knuckle presses down hard, and the tiger's mouth presses against the curved part of the racket handle and the left shoulder to fix the racket. The index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are stretched out to support the back of the racket, and the first and second sections of the index finger are pressed against the outside of the back of the racket.

The above five grips can all be used for pen-hold and horizontal shots, but the best way to compare is the middle-clamp grip. The reason is that the fingers on the back of the racket occupy a larger area with the tongs lift, the index finger hook handle grip, and the chipping grip, which reduces the area for hitting the ball on the back, which is not conducive to technical performance. Although the small-clamp grip method has a larger hitting area on the back, its "hanging" characteristic is not conducive to controlling the racket shape and affects the stability of technical performance. Only the medium-clamp grip method is conducive to controlling the racket shape and the back side is not conducive to controlling the racket shape. It has a relatively sufficient hitting surface, so some of my country's leading players in pen-hold backhand technique, such as Liu Guoliang, Ma Lin, Yan Sen, etc., all use this grip method.
