Hello Jeff and Alois! 

My nemesis is a seemiller grip player.  Any advice on how to crack this code?

Hi Tim,

I think one of the difficulties of playing with the Seemiller grip is the backhand topspin.  They ted to be able to play better against an attacking ball on the backhand as the grip can be good for blocking or countering.

I would suggest more play to the backhand side and more backspin balls there initially in the rally.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

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.
