Hi Indip,

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis lesson we have.  This will show you the penhold backhand technique.  You can also take a look at the Reverse Penhold Backhand which is a more difficult stroke but something that you can look at introducing into your game.

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:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. 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.
