Playing with a straight grip on a table tennis cross-bladder

It is best not to take a straight grip on the crosscourt. The reasons for this are:

1. The different board shapes of the straight and horizontal paddles result in different centers of gravity of the paddles, which makes the sweet spot of the stroke different, with the sweet spot of the straight paddle being in the middle of the board, and that of the horizontal paddle being a bit on the upper side. The sweet spot is in the middle of the board, while the horizontal board is a bit higher up. The sweet spot of table tennis is the sweet spot of the ball, which will cause deviation in the control of the board when hitting the ball, affecting the effect of hitting the ball.

2. The horizontal board is relatively heavy, and after a straight grip, you need to rely on your fingers to control the shape of the board, which makes it more difficult for your fingers to control.
