Strategy
Hey Alois,
I've just noticed that you are left-handed.
Finally I can ask a left-handed person this! :)
Is it necessarily harder for you since you are left-handed or is it just the same as a right-handed person? Most people I see in competitions are right-handed so would it be harder for you to counter-hit their serve?
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING! YAY!
Hi Caleb,
On the contrary I think we have an advantage being left handed because the right handers don't play against as many left handers so they are not used to it.
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.
