Defensive Moves Using A Penhold Grip

Strategy

Bert Richardson Asked 9 years ago

Are there any defensive moves while using the Penhold Grip? It has been hard for me to defend against smashers or players who play fast.

Hi Bert,

It is difficult to play a chopping defence with the penhold grip but you can block well with it.

Stay close to the table and use a flat bat to block the ball back, especially on the backhand side.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
