Are you sure this is ping pong?

yeah I [censored] up. I realised just now that I was calling it the "butterfly" because that's what somebody (apparently incorrectly) was calling it in another thread. We were actually calling it the Chinese grip which probably isn't right either but it makes sense since pretty much all of them use it. Basically it's holding the handle as you would hold a pen, so the handle is basically going the opposite way it is in the other grip. In Chinese it's apparently called the vertical grip whereas the other one is horizontal.

BAHAHAHHA

That was ME calling it the Butterfly grip.
Butterfly is a brand of table/paddle made in China.

Penholder is the correct term.

It really doesn't matter how much you spend, just make sure it comes with really grippy rubber for spin/control. You can get replacement rubber for cheap in Chinatown (if your city has one).
