penhold

Certainly, it is our impression that some children adopt a penhold that conforms to a dynamic tripod but use movements of the whole arm rather than of the fingers to drive the pen.

One of the Chinese players, a pudgy little man who couldn't stop talking as we waited for the room to clear from a yoga class, played with the typical Chinese penhold (with the racket held as a pen) and used only the face of his racket.
