Penhold Backhand
Strokes and Technique
Patrick Asayas Asked 12 years ago
I'm a Penhold gripper, and my friend knows that penhold had disadvantages....like weakness in backhand and this is my very problem...is there any way to improve my backhand even in penhold?

Hi Patrick,
You certainly can improve your backhand. You can do both the traditional backhand or the Reverse Penhold Backhand. Take a look at our lesson on Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.
Work on this skill and you will find your whole game will improve.

You suold attack with your backhand and now your saying: how to do it, its impossible or is it?
For this stroke you have to prctice alot before useing it in a match but it is very effective if you dont use your rpb.
How to do it:
Its like a japanese backhand but it dosent take that much time to do and is faster. This is what i think is the best way to handle this kind of problem, hope it helps.
