Player playing early
Strategy
Ryan Bhattacharya Asked 4 years ago
How to pressurize a player who plays the early and is always close to the table?
I tried to put push or drives in wide forehand and Backhand but the player is good at both. I get caught after returning him wide and then change in direction often catch me out.

Hi Ryan,
Often the middle area can be a good place to target because this is there are they need to make a decision between the forehand and backhand.
Give this area a try and see how you get on.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

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.
