Thanks, Ben (Squasha)
Hi Ben,
We do have a lesson that shows you the Reverse Penhold backhand. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis. The backhand is a little more difficult with the penhold grip but work on the Reverse Penhold.
When they play fast or to the middle you could use a normal penhold backhand block. The crossover point is one of the advantages of the penhold because you can use the same side of the racket on both forehand and backhand sides.
