Hi Bernard,

The easiest way is to use a Reverse Penhold Backhand. Take a look at our lesson on the Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. This will show you the technique. It uses the other side of your bat with a slightly modified grip to make the attacking stroke.

You suold attack with your backhand and now your saying: how to do it, its impossible or is it?

For this stroke you have to prctice alot before useing it in a match but it is very effective if you dont use your rpb.

How to do it:

Hold the traditional chinese penhold with your fingers curved on each other.
Hold your bat loosely.
Move your hand fast forward and contact the ball at the highest point of its bounce.
The ball will fly very fast and catch your opponent of guard.

Its like a japanese backhand but it dosent take that much time to do and is faster. This is what i think is the best way to handle this kind of problem, hope it helps
