Hi Ravi,

I find it difficult to return a backhand smash at any time. The best thing is to avoid players getting an opportunity to smash.

Try keeping the ball low.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

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.

I find it harder to see the direction because of the use of the wrist.
