Strategy
I can not decide what style to play (offensive or defensive) I'm relatively new and I'm not sure what to do
Hi Momo,
Give both a try and see what feels more comfortable. You can always do a bit of both as well.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.

Well,Momo,you can also learn both and use an Allround style,which can revolve around switching between DEF and OFF depending on the opponent.
