Question about grips and technique
Strokes
David Unknown Asked 17 years ago
I have been watching your videos, but they all seem to be for the shake hands grip. I use the pen holder grip, and was wondering if the general concepts used are similar. If not, can you possibly make videos about the pen holder grip?

Hi David,
We have concentrated on the shakehand grip in all of our videos.
The basic for a lot of penhold is the same especially for the forehand. If you are using the reverse side for your backhand, the principles are very much the same as well. However if you are using the same side for backhand there are a few differences as you may know.
If you have any other questions about how to do things with the penhold grip ask us here and we will help you out.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
