Penhold grip problem

ahmad hariri Asked 15 years ago

Hi guys

several years ago I saw a match and the chinese guy won. then I decided to play with the penhold grip. I learned it by my self with no trainer and I can almost do all the shots and now in the college championship I got beaten in the semi.

I want to improve my play but there is a problem. table tennis grib is only shakehand in my country. no bode knows how to play penhold and I don't find any body to train me. I asked a lot and went to several trainers but no body helped

so do you think I should change my grib and start over with the shakehand ?

Stay with your grip. Theree are not too many differences with the penhold grip i nthe basics.

Take a look at the lesson on the Pnhold Grip that we have. Here is the link.

I saw the video a while ago

but I have a problem with the reverse backhand topspin

I'm tall so I can't start from below the table height

I will try to practise it and try to get down with my legs a little

wish to see more penhold videos from pingskills
