Playing against Pen Holder
Strategy
Balaji Sundararajan Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff
Any tips for playing against a Pen hold grip player?
It is easy for me to return his serves. But I am unable to play as the rally goes on.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
Often against a Penholder it is good to topspin to their forehand with heavy spin because the angle of their racket makes it difficult for the to get over the ball and keep it down. The other area that can be weaker for the penholder is the backhand side depending on whether they play a reverse backhand well or not.

Tactics Against A Defensive Chopper
A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
