Hi Kenneth,

That is a good idea for a lesson.  The main thing is to think about it like you are punching out forward with your hand.  The difficult part is getting your bat over the ball.  Use your fingers and hand to get the angle right.

We have a brief lesson on the Penhold.  Take a look at the lesson on Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
