Hi guys,

I enjoy watching YouTube videos to learn from the top players. I use a shake hand grip. I have started to like several pen hold players. Do you think I can learn a lot from them or should I stick to watching just shake hand players? Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

There are a lot of similarities between shakehand and penhold players.  It is a good idea to watch all the top players because they will all have lot to show you.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
