Modern Penhold - SWIVEL Backhand by International Table Tennis Guest with eBaTT

eBaTT Presents the modern penhold Grip with Malaysian International Table tennis player Aixin Tee.

Grip- Today we looked at the grip of a modern penhold player, where the fingers are located and the forehand rubber is slightly off the tip of the blade. This is for finger comfortability and easy access to grip location.

Backhand - In today's table tennis game, it is almost impossible to compete at the highest level if you do not have a good backhand. Therefore we have seen a unique development in the penhold grip where they use a swivel backhand technique. This new method enables a penhold player to play a backhand as good if not better than a shake-hand gripped player. The only downfall is the angle and surface area is smaller. Making this stroke much harder to master as opposed to a normal shake hand backhand.

Placement - A top player regardless of grip, always looks at having the ability to place the ball in a very precise manner. Placement is critical for penhold players as they do not want to play too many rallies, again this is due to the high-risk Swivel backhand.

Footwork - We showed Aixin's masterfull movement and how efficient movement must be to enable true speed. All elements are essential for you to master the penhold grip or to understand their game and play against one.
