I can't really seem to do a backhand hit with the penhold grip. It's so hard.
Thanks for the help Alois.

Hi Caleb,
The backhand is a bit more awkward with the Penhold grip. Try to get your fingers to help you as well. Change the angle of the racket using your fingers to get the face of the bat more downwards.
Take a look at our lesson on the Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. This will give you some more help with your technique.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
