Sidespin Topspin stroke with Penhold
Strokes
Kevin Winata Asked 11 years ago
Hi sir..
I found that curving my topspins to my backhand side (brushing with inside of my bat) is very easy and helpful for me.. but when I try to curve the ball to the other way (brushing with outside of my bat) is very tricky.. the ball will simply go high to the air or the ball hits my finger.. and also I can't control the direction where I want to put the ball..
Can you give me some solutions or tips? Thanks..

Hi Kevin,
In case you haven’t seen it watch the lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin. The principles are the same with penhold as far as the angle of the bat during the strokes.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi sir.. I have watched it before.. that's why I have been able yo curve it with my inside of my bat.. My problem is about to curve it to the other way.. I can do it with shakehand, but i can't do anything with the penhold..
For the one curving away, you can alter the grip on your bat slightly to get the appropriate angle. It is about getting the end of your bat pointing upwards.
