The most used grip in table tennis, is the Shakehands grip and the Penhold grip. The American grip, otherwise known as the Seemiller grip, was used and developed by Danny Seemiller. This grip is unorthodox in nature, and is used in a way that's called twiddling. Twiddling is a procedure of flipping the paddle, and in most cases possessing different kinds of rubber, short pips, anti, and long pips rubber. When a paddle has two different rubbers, it can be otherwise be known, as a combo paddle.
Any grip in Table Tennis, can use a combination of rubbers, to define there type of game, they play. Penhold is a grip that can be used for the forehand attack, and mostly used for a more defined attack, mostly using one side of the paddle.
The Shakehands grip, can be used for forehand and backhand, with more ease then the other grips, and its the most basic grip for beginners. The Seemiller grip is not the most popular grip, and it has its pro's and con's. In this grip hitting a forehand and backhand is hit form the same grip on the same side of the paddle, and twiddling to use a opposite side in the same way. Grips continued next page
