  After understanding the basics, you can learn basic techniques. The basic technique is a summary of the main training techniques of table tennis players. Standardization and rationalization are requirements for the appearance and substance of technical actions.

  Table tennis is a highly personalized sport. There are many types of techniques, and everyone's methods of use are also ever-changing, but they cannot do without mastering basic techniques. The grip is the starting point of all table tennis techniques.

  Generally speaking, the style of grip should match the style of personal play, and it should be conducive to the flexible use of arms, wrists and fingers. At present, there are two kinds of grips: straight grip and horizontal grip.

  Generally speaking, the horizontal grip is like a handshake. The middle finger, ring finger and little finger naturally hold the handle, the tiger's mouth is against the shoulder, the thumb is on the front of the racket next to the middle finger, and the index finger is naturally straight and diagonally placed on the back of the racket.

  The straight grip method is to stick the handle on the tiger's mouth, and form a pincer shape with the second knuckle of the index finger and the first knuckle of the thumb, the distance between the two fingers is moderate, and the remaining three fingers are naturally bent and stacked after the beat.

  Different grips have their own advantages, resulting in different types of play. In a nutshell, the straight grip method is good for backhand pushing and flexible attacking on the stage. It is a common gripping method for Chinese athletes; the horizontal grip method for the forehand and backhand alternating shots changes quickly, which is convenient for left-handed right-handed attacks. Backhand attack is easy to exert force and easy to pull the arc circle, covering a large range, is the traditional European grip method.

  At the same time, the forehand of the straight-hand grip is fast and powerful, and the shape of the racket does not change much when attacking an oblique or straight line. In addition, the use of fingers and wrists under the straight-hand grip is relatively large, which is relatively beneficial when the serve changes, when handling small balls in the table and after the body.

  Whether holding it straight or horizontally, there are the following precautions:

  1. Regardless of the gripping method used, hands should not be too tight or too loose when gripped. Too tight a grip will make the wrist stiff and affect the movement of the wrist when exerting force; too loose a grip will affect the strength of the shot and the accuracy of the shot.

  2. The grip should not be too shallow. In the straight-hand grip, the pincers formed by the index finger and thumb cannot be too large or too small, otherwise it will affect the flexibility of the wrist movement.

  3. When changing the racket surface and adjusting the racket angle, make full use of the flexibility of your fingers.

  4. The grip method should not be changed frequently, otherwise it will affect the formation of play style and style, and beginners need to pay special attention to this. (Finish)
