Strategy
Hi Pingskills! The reverse pendulum is exist to have a nice third ball attack isn't it? Because the ball spins anti clockwise and the receiver will send the ball to my forehand and that's the time I attack it. Does it make sense?
Hi Xariuz,
Yes that sound like good thinking. The ball will naturally spin towards your forehand.
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.
