Hi coach!is there any disadvantage in penhold other than backhand?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Hari,

The backhand is now not really a disadvantage with the use of the reverse penhold backhand.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.

I guess a penhold means you don't have the option of combination rubbers using inverted/LPs or something like that. Obviously this is not a disadvantage if that's not your style anyway!
