My left ear learnt a lot from this video.
Yes, I'm really sorry that your right ear couldn't help you with this video. In our later videos we have fixed this :-)
PingSkills Haha, no worries. It was still a very helpful video :-)

I just found this channel and I must applaud your simple and professional approach to Ping Pong. As a rookie I play casually. My space and time for playing Ping Pong are limited but I enjoy learning more and growing in the sport, which has been helped immensely but your tutorials.
+Mr Pernickety Thanks. I'm glad you are liking the channel. Make sure to take a look at the PingSkills website too and sign up for our free email newsletter with lots of table tennis tips.

Dev!
Yep u can. That's the traditional Korean/Japanese penhold grip. (The first time Japan and Korea actually AGREED on something). Plus that's what I use!
yaaaaah keep it up bro
@argonmeditation Concentrate on your start and finish positions. These are the most critical to get right. You can practice the stroke away from the table just to get the feel of the shot right. Once you get a bit more comfortable go back to the table and try and get 5 on in a row. Work on improving your consistency. Start hitting the ball slowly and then aim for 10 in a row.
You can always ask us a question on our website using "Ask the Coach". We've got more room for answers there!
@Golden2Talon Yeah sorry about that. We are getting better at producing our videos now so hopefully all our newer videos have better volume levels.
@poopootae I'm glad you found it useful. It is OK to have a small variation in grip between the backhand and forehand. As long as it is seamless to switch from backhand to forehand and vice versa.
@Zkayber We actually have a video on how you can practice alone. Go to our website and check out our lessons page, you'll find it there.
@tabletennispenhold You could try asking this question on the ask the coach section of our website and see if we can find any answers for you.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with your Table Tennis!
@GooGooGaGa10 Take a look on our website as we have a lesson on the shakehand grip. We have also just answered a question via video about changing your grip during a rally so check out ask the coach or our search for the video on our channel. Basically it is OK to have a small change in grip as long as you are not getting caught out with the wrong grip and losing points. Good luck!
@MetroSniffStudios We are using the PingSkills touch with Vega Pro. We sell these on our website.
@Zkayber Great. Make sure you check out our website too. Just Google for PingSkills!
@liontoxicatorR We don't get much room here to answer in detail. It sounds like this might need a bit of discussion. It might be best if you post a question on our website under the Ask the Coach section!
Very helpful, ive recently been playing more table tennis since i got a table for free and i recently switched to this grip after noticing the olympic players that used this grip were dominant, and this grip to me is much more versatile and agile than the shakehand, i found your video whilst searching to refine my skills with the penhold and this vid certainly helped me (mostly with the topspin or loop shot, i was pleased to find that i was already doing most of these shots properly) thanks!
@gulligagardinen You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.
@AceofDlamonds Good question. I think if it is played correctly it doesn't put too much strain on the wrist. And when blocking topspin, you do need to counter the topspin regardless of which grip you use.
@meandonlyme1998 Good question. I'm not really sure how to answer this one. Maybe try posting this on our website under our Ask the Coach section and we'll get a real answer for you!
Thanks a lot pingskills - You have helped me improve more and more with your tutorials. Keep it up :)
@Kakashinoor Especially with the forehand loop, the principles are very similar for both the shakehand and penhold grips. Try watching the videos on our website about the forehand loop and concentrate on the start and finish position of the stroke. This will be the same and if you can get these right you are well on your way to being able to play it consistently.
very thorough video!
great job PingSkills!
@DWILLMVP1 I'm glad you liked the video.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE, i wasnt much of a penholder fan. but after trying this my penholder technique increased quite a bit
This is VERY helpful thanks👍🏾
It helped me in my school table tennis matches
@raegiorem If you don't have a table then hitting against a wall can help. In fact if you look at our free lessons on our website, you'll find one called practicing alone. This will give you some more ideas on how you can practice without a table.
Good luck!
Good to hear you are progressing well. Keep working on your game.
wow...this is awsum this video helped me a lot...!!! thank u guys coz of this i've improved my backhand
@lclaycomb thanks for the tip. I've not heard of a pop filter before.
Thanks for the lesson and suggestions!
wow great video, I am now so much more confident with penhold, can not wait for some basement table tennis!
@raegiorem it's really a personal preference. What grip do you feel most comfortable with. Another consideration might be which grip can you get the best coaching for where you live.
thanks, I'm Korean/Japanese Penhold and I really needed help on my backhand technique
@gulligagardinen The main thing to concentrate on is brushing the ball on the side. To get a lot of spin you need to brush the ball and have your bat moving quickly.
Thanks, I love this video and now I've learn reverse backhand very well. thanks for help :)
this is good for pen holds...i will let my colleague know to watch this video for sure. Good work ping skills!
Sound quality is a real ear killer for headphone users.
Thanks for the feedback Hirobian. On all our newer videos we have increased the sound quality.
That is good new! :)
excelente clase...!!! muchas gracias. Saludos desde Argentina...!!!
Hahaha I love how you stay so calm to that little guy saying he is better. He could never know! Matt didn't even play full power, he was just showing techniques. Good video!
Very helpful instructive video. We are all much indebted for the upload.
Thanks!
@LordNibbler2300 Glad you liked it.
@vblings The problem is that we are shakehand players so know a lot more about this style of play. A lot of our tutorials are still applicable to the penhold grip as the basic principles do not change.
Love it, please show more video of penhold techniques.
Great stuff.... thank you.
As both Alois and I are shakehand players, we are going to be making a lot more videos using this grip.
i am going to try this out. looks like a very effective technique.
Hey! I simply want to give a huge thumbs up for the nice video youve here on this post. I will probably be coming again to your videos for more soon.
i am looking forward playing this sport.. :)) i will practice this pen hold it looks cool and has many advantages from a normal hand shake hold.
Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and doing it in a way that's easy to understand
You're welcome.
@liontoxicatorR Great. I'll tell Alois to watch out for your question.
I've just started playing Table Tennis and I've decided to go for the penhold technique, great tutorial thanks!
You're welcome LloydVlogs33.
Good luck with your table tennis.
@wesley621375 It's in there from about the 6:00 mark.
Ahhhh!!! The music is so refreshing :3
This video was very informational
I'm excited to try them when I go practice on Monday. :)
Great to hear queensalvatore. Good luck with your training session on Monday.
great job guys!
@scatignani You're welcome.
Great video! Very informative
Thanks Steven Wang, I'm glad you liked it. Make sure you check out the PingSkills website for more great table tennis videos!
TQ so much...this will improve my games
your videos are getting better and better =)
Amazing video, i was about to try shake hand grip, but now i can try reverse back hand with the pen hold grip
@Wkesi2 Thanks!
@NC56Fiesta Your welcome.
@MU84R1K You're welcome!
Thanks! :)
Thanks a lot for sharing this, it was very helpful.
You're welcome.
@GooGooGaGa10 You're welcome.
I started out playing table tennis using the Shakehand grip. I recently switched to Penhold. I have always dabbled with Penhold, but finally, I decided that my style dictated that I make the jump to Penhold. My serves are my strength and I can put much more spin on them and have more control using Penhold. Thank you for this video. I am positive that I made the right decision and will continue to practice both grips, but focus mainly on Penhold.
The penhold is a great grip, and much underrated. Having switched you'll get some puzzled looks, and a lot of players asking why on earth you would want to do such a thing. When they see the different variety of spin you get on your loops, chops and top spins, and they have trouble reading it, then you can say "that's why!" Penhold isn't for everyone, but if it feels comfortable, it is definitely worth a try. I find in my local league that players simply aren't used to it and they have a lot of trouble reading what's coming at them.
thanks so mutch for this video! it was very usefully.
@wluc1 It is really a personal choice. Which do you like better?
Nicely made training video
Traditionally a penholder would only use one side of the bat. But nowadays most people starting out with the penhold grip are also learning the "reverse penhold backhand" (rpb) which uses the other side of the bat.
Awesome video thanks 👍
Jorge Salazar You're welcome.
@herlequin We don't use the rating system that the US does.
Great video.
@kingspartan375299 To put sidespin on the ball you need to brush the ball on the side of the ball. This will get the ball spinning around.
I love ping skills coz it really improve my game
It sounds like you need to practice this. See if you can get a training partner to play to your backhand and then practice hitting the ball down the line. If it always goes cross court you may have to even aim off the table. Don't be scared about missing the ball, it's important during training to experiment whilst you are learning.
A very good video!
I am playing table tennis about a month, I learnt the penhold 1 week after I started and noticed that my reactions and strokes have greatly improved!
That's great LAGman91. Keep up the good work! If you can find a table tennis club in your area you should try and join up, it will be a great experience.
Awesome job here
Grt... thanks alot..sir.. for the help
I'm a penholder :) . Great video, thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Awesome video:)
@claymathhews21 We just thought it would make the video more interesting.
Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
Very nice video, thank you! Hard to find good instructions for penholders. A video with advanced pehold serve techniques would be great too. It seems to me that if you are mostly relying on RPB, like Wang Hao, then you pretty much still have the crossover point weakness in more or less the same spot? I am not an expert, I tried both grips, and to me the main advantage of penhold is more control on the spin because of its extended amplitude of wrist movement. I guess, from my limited understanding, one disadvantage of penhold would be for chopping defenders -- looks like that play style is better suited for shakehand?
Great observations. Certainly if you use the reverse penhold backhand then you do have a crossover point. You can still play a traditional backhand with the penhold though. And yes chopping is much easier for shakehand players.
I’ve had a habit of using the penhold grip for my entire life. As a kid I had a paddle that handle was too short for me, so I started holding it like that.
Nice.
@pingskills thanks alot!:)
Thank you so much
You're welcome.
Good now i will try this
thanks i saw some grip that helps a bit more
great video maan, I'll study penhold technique
@David Baile pen hold is an awesome grip. However, looking at the shake hand grip, it has a terribly weak backhand. So as mentioned in this video, try practising the reverse penhold backhand cause it increases your backhand efficiency alot. I am a penhold and one of the best at where i play. Hope you love table tennis too. Good luck
When I was first learning ping pong, my brother forced me to learn the penholder grip. It turns out to be by far the best, as for me, it virtually eliminates the backhand, and most of your movement is in the wrist. Also, you can really put some spin on the ball, and make killer short shots.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
@kevtyan If you've only got rubber on one side then you won't be able to play the Reverse Penhold Backhand.
Thank you Brother, this video helped clear things up with me about pen hold grip. May you always follow GOD's guidance brother, keep safe
@wenotubeyou Great. Good luck with your Table Tennis.
Its been 11 years. DANG
@DereKkMuRR Good luck!
