Backhand high ball for a penholder
Strokes
Jim Yu Asked 7 years ago
I can kill the high forehand balls, slow or fast, without problem. How to hit the high back hand balls without moving to the far left and use forehand?

Hi Jim,
You could try to take the ball early as it comes up off the table and before it gets too high.
Otherwise the highball becomes awkward so you should move around and hit it with your forehand. The principles that we show in the tutorial on the Backhand Smash apply to penholders as well.
