Hi Nikhil,

This is advice that I give many players when going into a tournament.  Stick with the serves you know and get them better and so you are completely comfortable with them.  You are better off focusing on this than trying a new serve that is untried.

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.
