Strategy
Hey Alois,
Your lessons have been helping me. The only thing is that where I play, at my school, there isn't much space. You can only take one step back and then you hit the wall. Do you have any tips that can give me an advantage of playing in that space?
thx,
Dan
Hi Dan,
Playing an attacking game that forces them away from the table would be best. So ensuring you gain the first attack is important.
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.
