Sir, in my state grass players dont use it for defense. they use it on their b/h and play normally(fast) with it. its very tough playing with those type of players. what should i do?
Hi Earl,
It can be difficult to play against that style of player.
One thing that is effective is to push the ball deep and fast to them on the backhand and then attack the next ball.
don’t try to play too fast to the backhand side, because they will use your spin and speed against you.

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.
