How to face return of difficult serve we do?
Hi Ali,
When yo do a difficult serve the spin may come back to you or the ball that comes back is different because there may be slightly different spin on the ball.
Do the serve often and practice the 3rd ball from it to get the feel of which way the ball will be returned and which spin comes back to you. This may take a lot of time to adjust to. As a result you need to think about the serve and the really as a package and work out what really works for you to win points.
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.
