Strategy
Hi Jeff and Alois.
I often play someone who is significantly taller and broader than I am. He covers a lot of area without having to move much and it can be difficult to get a shot past him. Do you have any strategies specifically for use against a physically large but agile opponent?
Regards,

Hi Kelvin,
In general, playing to their right hip, if they are a right hander is a good strategy. This forces them to move out of their own way. If they are tall and have long arms this makes it more awkward.

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.
