Penhold techniques

Joseph Park Asked 9 years ago

Dear Alois,

I have watched your videos and I'm wondering if all of the strokes you've covered is also the same for pen holders. Since I am one, I think it is important to ask this question.

Hi Joseph,

There are a lot more similarities than differences.  The main difference is with the backhand block or counterhit.

We have a lesson on the Penhold grip that will help you to understand the relationship between the two grips. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis
