How to know that your opponent will smash THANKS!
Hi Joshhua,
There are a few indicators. If you put the ball higher then you can expect them to play a strong shot. Also then you can watch their movements. If they have a bigger backswing and move more side on into position then this is more likely. You just need to track the ball and all the information will be seen.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
