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.
