I’m pretty sure it wasn’t 1st defence. )) I agree, the first attack on this video is way too soft. But it was long time ago, now my 1st attack looks more like… well… 1st attack. )) Check the latest videos.
Thanks. At that time I was using DHS Hurricane3 (42deg) on FH and Yasaka MarkV 30 2.0mm on BH. Later I switched to SriverEL 2.1mm on BH. After the speed glue ban I use DHS Hurricane3 2.2mm (#19 39 degrees sponge) on FH, and I’m not sure yet what to use for BH.
I don’t play traditional penhold backhand – so my info will not be very reliable. I think that when performing RPB it’s important to push the blade’s backside with the middle finger’s fingertip. Then it’s quite easy to get the right angle on the blade. What do you think?
I guess just like when playing shakehand it’s a good idea to learn how to playBH loop with your left leg forward. From half distance it doesn’t matter so much but close to the table it’s very important. I’m trying to learn this kind of BH myself – see my video “penhold: switching from RPB to forehand (5x slowmo)”
When you use your backhand with the reverse side, it forces you to put your right leg forward instead of the normal left leg forward (for right handed). It can easily messes up your game. I know because I can use the reverse side backhand too. Any way to fix that?
Sorry I used two accounts to reply. I have another question. How different is the backhand in RPB and the Traditional Chinese penhold grip. Cos I use the traditional Chinese penhold grip and I find it hard to backhand the way you do them in the video. The back either goes flying off the table or it bounces low on my side and then bounces on the opponents side…
It’s a lot harder to explain than to show, but I’ll try. When looping, you have to hold the blade itself (not the handle). Thumb on the front side of the blade and the middle finger on the back side of the blade should be pressed against each other “trough” the blade. However when playing pushes the grip should be different.
hmm. i dont know. its probably the sound then. OR i cant hear!
Thanks. There are not so many clubs here either. And I have to take a train and a bus to get to my club.
It’s a fairly usual table with a 25mm (1″)thick top. Maybe it’s just the sound quality?
is it just me or does the ball sound really heavy when it hits the table.? it must be the thickness of the table or something.?
idk
who wears short shorts…he wears short shorts

You Play very well as a penholder, just wonder what rubber you have for your front and back?
is this video made in norway, oslo ?
Nice, you’re the first Caucasian penhold player I’ve seen.

Its kinda funny to see a white guy using chinese penhold grip, and even with Reverse backhand too, and he play pretty good with it, lol

Yeah I noticed it that’s why I was confused I thought you were only meant to use your forehand.. How do you hold the blade properly with the penhold?
could you post a video of your forehand? It’s difficult to give tips if I don’t see how you perform it now.
Haven’t you noticed that I use the reverse side of the racket when playing backhand?!
It’s not difficult if you hold the blade right
I have a question… When using the penhold do you just use your forehand or backhand as well? Cos it seems kinda hard to use backhand.
yuo got a great forehand loop any tip cause my forehand loop isn’t as consistent as yours
