Women and Angle Shots
Strategy
Gary Jacobson Asked 10 years ago
I wonder if others have the same experience I have when playing against women.
They seems to hit balls with more difficult angles. I wonder if this might be due to some anatomical reason, or if they have learned that doing so is a way to gain an advantage, and as a tactic to strengthen their game. When I ask my female opponents about their angled shots it seems that they are not so aware of my experiences playing against them.
Have you noticed this possible phenomenon?

Hi Gary,
The top women in the world hit the ball pretty hard but compared to the top men it isn’t as fast. Therefore they do tend to utilise the angles more to win points.

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.
