Hi coach!is there any disadvantage in penhold other than backhand?

Hi Hari,

The backhand is now not really a disadvantage with the use of the reverse penhold backhand.

I guess a penhold means you don't have the option of combination rubbers using inverted/LPs or something like that. Obviously this is not a disadvantage if that's not your style anyway!
