Hi alois!

I am quiet shocked when i read one of your reply to someone's question, you said something like "the penholder weakness is backhand depends on does he can use reverse backhand good or not."

I am a penholder but i have never use it.

Does it matter? I think the natural way to play penhold grip is just using one side of the bat (that's why some of penhold grip bats just only have one side of rubber)

I think i doesn't have problem with my backhand, even with topspin(yeah maybe the spin doesn't really heavy), but should i learn that too?

Thanks alois!

Oh ya, may i ask you something? Are you australian? If no, where are you come from?

Hi Kevin,

I think it is good if you can learn the Reverse Penhold stroke.  It will be something else that you can use in a match.

I am Australian but I was born in India.
