    I'm really confused how to hold the racket when driving cause when I see professional player(doubles) drive during practice before a match, they can hit it forehand or backhand with a really strong hit with a short stroke of arm. Can I see any photo of how to hold the racket when driving.

    just make sure you don't hold it in front of you and block your view or else possible dangerous

    On the other hand, you do want to hold it in front of you.

    Grip wise, loose and somewhat neutral so that you can switch to forehand or backhand at any given instant.

    Aim wise, aim towards whichever side is weaker, but one good spot is right at the racket shoulder, which is often difficult to return because it's in the transition zone between a forehand and backhand.
