Penhold Backhand
Strokes
Patrick Asayas Asked 13 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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

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.
