I have noticed that your lessons are for handshake grip player. Do you have any DVD lessons for penhold grip (i.e. reverse backhand)? Also, do you have more advance lessons? Thank you.

Hi Bob,

The principles for most storke with the penhold are very similar except for the reverse backhand.  I will put this on our list of Lessons to make.   I was coaching someone yesterday who woul dmake a good subject of the Lesson.

I think the main thing to work on for most people is to make sure you get the bat as flat as you can to the ball on contact.  The natural thing is to have the bat coming a little around the left side of the ball for right handers.  See if you can get the bat straight up the back of the ball.
