Strategy

Hi,
many congratulations to Alois for getting inducted into Coburg Table Tennis Club Hall of Fame.
My question is what are the basic weaknesses of a penhold player? i play against a penhold player and he seems to give me lot of problems probably as he ends up slowing the game down tremendously, with side spin, top spin, short serves and chops, the player is a great blocker as well.
your response to how to play long spinny serves really helped, i have started attacking them and it's working very well.
Regards,

Hi Manish,
Thanks for your wishes.
The penholders often have difficulty blocking a slower topspin ball on the forehand side as it is difficult to get over the ball there.
The backhand attack is also more difficult if they haven't perfected on the Reverse Penhold Backhand.

If you're having trouble returning a smash, you are not alone. The secret is to stop your opponent from attacking in the first place. Improve your short game and you will become the attacker!
