=== Seemiller ===
The Seemiller grip is named after the American table tennis champion [[Danny Seemiller]], who used it. It is achieved by placing the thumb and index finger on either side of the bottom of the racquet head and holding the handle with the rest of the fingers. Since only one side of the racquet is used to hit the ball, two contrasting rubber types can be applied to the blade, offering the advantage of "twiddling" the racket to fool the opponent. Seemiller paired inverted rubber with anti-spin rubber. Many players today combine inverted and long-pipped rubber. The grip is considered exceptional for blocking, especially on the backhand side, and for forehand loops of backspin balls.<ref name="blog.paddlepalace.com">{{cite web|last1=Hodges|first1=Larry|title=Playing the Seemiller or American Grip|url=http://blog.paddlepalace.com/2014/01/coaching-tip-playing-the-seemiller-or-american-grip/|website=blog.paddlepalace.com|date=20 January 2014 |access-date=1 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230035531/http://blog.paddlepalace.com/2014/01/coaching-tip-playing-the-seemiller-or-american-grip/|archive-date=30 December 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Seemiller grip's popularity reached its apex in 1985 when four (Danny Seemiller, Ricky Seemiller, Eric Boggan and Brian Masters) of the United States' five participants in the World Championships used it.<ref name="blog.paddlepalace.com"/>
