Even when there is no official way to hold a racket, we recommend an orthodox method of holding the racket for control.

Raymond and I played a guy who held his paddle with 1 finger of the edge of the blade and he beat us both. Standard grips are always the best of course.

It's called Seemiller grip popularized by Dan Seemiller multi-time national champion. It has shown it's effective ways with looping.

no wonder my shakehand was bad before, i was holding it in the wrong grip. -.-

I don't really care because if I hold it normal, the hilt of the paddle gets warm and icky and feels uncomfortable.
