Playing against Pen Holder
Strategy
Balaji Sundararajan Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff
Any tips for playing against a Pen hold grip player?
It is easy for me to return his serves. But I am unable to play as the rally goes on.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
Often against a Penholder it is good to topspin to their forehand with heavy spin because the angle of their racket makes it difficult for the to get over the ball and keep it down. The other area that can be weaker for the penholder is the backhand side depending on whether they play a reverse backhand well or not.

As a defender you need to keep the ball low and deep, use variation of spin, speed, and placement, and attack occasionally.
