How can i smash the ball on the edges or play at the edges.
Hi Noumanfaiz,
When you are training focus on how close to the edges you can get. This will mean that you shouldn't worry if the ball just misses the side of the table. This needs to happen if you are wanting to improve your ability to get the ball close to the edge.
In a match you can give yourself a little more margin for error.

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.
