Penhold
Strokes
Joan Ruggiero Asked 14 years ago
Hi, I coach a little and one of my players is a penhold, although I can help him on his forehand I am not sure how to show him how to play on his backhand apart from twisting his hand around which he finds awkward do you have a demonstration I can show him to inprove his game on his backhand
I would be very grateful
Merry Christmas to you all and you do a wonderful job it really helps me with my coaching my local players who appreciate your utube video's

Hi Joan,
It is great you are coaching. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Take a look at the lesson we have on youtube about the penhold grip. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. I think this will help you and your student.
Hope you too have a great Christmas and thank you for your kind wishes.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
