hej ;)

i love your tutorial ;)

one question ...

i think the fact that i am lefthand player gives me more benefits  to play penholder then a righhand player, might that be true ?

thx, chris from austria

Hi Chris,

I don't think this is necessarily true.  Perhaps you like playing against the penhold style.  What do you do as a tactic against them?

Thanks for your kind words about the tutorials.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.

ok.... i think i explained myself a bit wrong xD

i was thinking that, me as a lefthand player, the penhold backhand give me not that troubel as a righhand cause ive got a good backhand, like the most lefthand do ;)

and i believe that i dont have to reach out that far with my backhand as ling as i play vs righthand 

am i wrong ?

 

vs penholder style i would serv long and fast on the backhand

Hi Christian,

Your English is fine... If you like that angle then that is good.  You are right, the angle is easier for you.
