What is the best grass to plant in a shady area?

I have two trees in my front yard. The grass under one of them only gets the very early morning sun, so the grass is very patchy. What would be the best grass to plant there?

1. get a sod kicker and remove the dead grass areas under the tree and plant a shady mix seed, these mixes are designed for shade and grow well there. Check your bag to see tha tyou are buying a shade mix
2. I like Pennington shade grass
3. Sorry Val dont know im not a green thumb but i pray that you find the answer, God Bless you.
