Strategy
If anyone hit a fast counter shot or any other shot I can't defend it. If I touch the ball it goes out of the table.

If they play a fast shot the main thing is to have a relaxed hand and control the ball on the table with a Block if you can.

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.
