Traditional Penhold Backhand Grip

Here's a quick video where I talk about the traditional penhold grip and a slight modification that has helped me with my backhand.

One thing I did not note in the video is that it is relatively common for younger penholders of today to utilize only the reverse penhold backhand. Take Wang Hao for example, you will almost never see him execute the traditional penhold backhand. For these players, I would suggest keeping the traditional penhold grip I show in the beginning of the video. If you are not concerned with closing your TBH enough because you always use RPB, then there is no reason to switch from the norm. However if you do like to use the TBH technique, give this grip a try. See what you think.
