Best way to serve to a receiver using penhold grip

Hi Gregory,
Often serving to the backhand can be a safer option. Deep and fast to the backhand can be good if they don't move around well to make a forehand from there.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
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.
