How do I play against slappers?
Hi Oliver,
The best idea is to use a lot of spin and variation of pace. This is usually difficult for players that play flat like blockers and slappers.
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.
