Backhand for J-Pen

Moises Moises Asked 6 years ago

What is the best way to attack from the backhand using a Japanese penhold grip paddle?

Hi Moises,

The Backhand with the J-Pen is a very big stroke that is taken from outside the line of your body to give yourself some space to make the shot.

Start outside your left hip and finish up at head height similar to the finish of the shake hand backhand topspin stroke.  In our tutorial on PingSkills Penhold Techniques there is a section on Japanese Backhand Technique where you will get some more hints.
