Reverse backhand penhold
Strokes
Kabeer Sayed Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have been recently struggling in executing the reverse backhand effectively while playing. Do you have any advice?

Hi Kabeer,
One of the main things is to get the angle of the racket correct. Focus on this first off the table by looking at your grip to get this angle. Then hit the ball and see if the ball is going straight.
We have a tutorial that may help as well. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
