i saw that when you do the lessons you usually use the shakehand grip so as a penholder i was wondering if the tips were good for me too?

Hi,

Yes we usually show the lessons using shakehand but we have just loaded a lesson using the Penhold grip.  You can take a look at it by following the link below.

As a penholder you will see what is relevant for you from the other lessons.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
