Against a very low ball
Strategy
Nabid Ahmed Asked 9 years ago
What do you do if someone repeatedly hits the ball very low just on the brink of the net? Do you attack, defend?

Hi Nabid,
If the ball is only bouncing once on your side then you can use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke. If it is bouncing more than once then play a Backhand Push or Forehand Push stroke.
It is important to be patient when they are able to keep the ball low. Don't try to hit the ball too hard.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
