Hello, i watched the video on YouTube about practicing some skills alone. I am a penholder, should i do these exercises holding the paddle penhold mode? Or shakehand mode?

Hi Jorge,

You would be best to do these using the penhold grip.  Some of the skills may be awkward but give them a try. The idea behind doing these skills is to develop control for when you play a game so using the penhold grip would be best for you.

This is the second training plan focusing on match strategy. Last week we looked at your strengths and building a game around that. This week you should examine one of your competitors and pick out their weaknesses. Then you can design some training drills to expose those weaknesses. By doing this you'll be able to exploit them in a match situation and win points more easily.
