Strategy
Hi Alois and pingskills
i saw your video of penholders and i saw that one of the advantages is can use the same side of the racket to hit not like the shakehand, that has to change from forehand to backhand...well this advantage is my real weakness.
When i adopt a block position i stay there...the balls that comes to the middle i don't attack, What i can do to be more offensive?
Hi Cristh,
Step a little to your left and make sure that everything that comes to that middle area you are ready to attack. It is more of a mindset than a technique to become more attacking.
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.
