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.

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.
