Susan K. Asked 15 years ago
What should my strategy be against an attacking player? Attacking back or defense?

Hi Susan,
Think about what you do best first rather than your opponent.
If you are good at attacking you should try to do this. If you are a better defensive player then try to set up your points so that you can get into a defensive position.
In general you should try to stop your opponent from making the first attack or make it as difficult as possible to make the first attack. This doesn't matter whether they or you are a defensive or attacking player.

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.
