Learning from Penholders

Training

Anthony Capasso Asked 12 years ago

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.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
