Hey coach,

I am some what of a rookie to the penhold grip. I have pretty decent forehand topspin but I cannot do the Reverse Penhold Backhand. (RPB). Can you please post a video about the very basics to rpb and how to transition from forehand to backhand including feet? Also can you show exactly where to hold your hand for the RPB?

Hi Austin,

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.  In there you will find the RPB and how to play it correctly.

I think this will help you.

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​
