Being given the run around
Strategy
Hindal Das Asked 10 years ago
Suppose my opponent is making me run- from backhand to forehand. Which stroke should I use on the forehand side?

Hi Sauruv,
You could use a slower topspin which will give you more time to recover. Also think about the direction. If you go wide cross court then they don’t have as many options to move you wide on the other side.

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.
