Hi Mohsen,

An allround payer tends to be able to block quite well but also can take the attack when it is there.  They may also be reasonable at chopping or defending.

Often their attack isn't as strong as it should be so you can afford to wait for the right ball to attack rather than feeling under pressure to make a good strong attack on the first ball.

To play against them you need to use variation of speed and spin and not try to hit the ball too fast. 

We will be making a lesson on this as part of our Match Strategy Course for Premium Members.

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.
