Strategy
hey alois i just got a little talent for finding weakness of a player by just playing or seeing his game..So i always know where to place the ball but don't know which stroke to use like topspin chop.etc. though i get it placed correctly, but dont get it that correct as i expect......... PLZ HELP
Hi Harsh,
You should try a few different strokes to that position and see which works. Remember also that different strokes will work to different positions. For example a push may be better to their forehand but a topspin may be better to their backhand.

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.
