Hi Hendra,

As both of us play shakehand we have done all our videos using that grip.

We will try to source someone to do some penhold demonstrations.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

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.

Hi Nikhil,

The detail in that video shows the differences between shakehand and penhold.  It is important to note that there are few differences, especially on the forehand side so the lessons we have on the site can be implemented as a penholder or shakehander.

For those of you who haven't seen the penhold lesson here is the link. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis
