Strategy
If one's backhand is stronger so can he max the use of backhand instead of playing with forehand?
Hi Vidit,
Yes that is OK. Just move yourself slightly across to the right so that you have more of the table covered with the backhand.
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.

Sir, Is 'Backhand dominant playing' recommended by most coaches?
It is moving a little more that way now with the backhand return of serve becoming more dominant. In general though the forehand is still dominant in the rally because there is more scope for adjustment especially with the higher balls.
