4 BASIC PENHOLD GRIP | MLFM Table Tennis Tutorial

[@suseelmarahattha5894]

I too used to use forehand grip but one friend introduced me to penhold and I started using it cuz it's grip is so solid that it makes you feel the racket is part of your hand but one disadvantage is that it's hard to reach some angles.

[@kundankumar-mz7vy]

Same here. I got much better at table tennis after but people tease me for using the grip but when they against me I literally thrash them. Thanks for the video.

I'm in the middle of Episode 8 of "Ping Pong: The Animation", trying to educate myself about what "penhold" is, because one of the characters keeps using it. This was a good, informative video.

[@NishantSengar]

Thank you for your immensely useful penhold tips, I play with the traditional penhold grip but I find it quite hard to backhand shots, can you do a video on ease of forehand to backhand transitioning in the game.

[@nandarayemin2440]

You can backhand by quickly taking your hand off and put it opposite direction 😂

[@otavioguimaraes1976]

Great video. Thank you so much for your explanation. It would be great to watch a video about RPB flick and topsin techniques. Greetings from Brazil.

[@luckingk2537]

Excellent video! Please make more videos about penhold grip!

[@zhizanhao1051]

I enjoy watching this tutorial it is easy to follow it just keeps me motivated to continue to play table tennis using this style no matter how hard it feels to do it. moreover the c-pen grip style is rather unique although it takes a lot of courage, dedication and talent to be able to use it perfectly. yet I prefer it anyway as it brings great satisfaction and excitement.

[@fenad4718]

Wow I never knew there were more ways to hold it than the way I learned. I guess I didn't really think of it. Thank you very much I'll try all of these out and see what I prefer.

[@maridethdiaz6568]

Nice. I have the same grip of Xu Xins, Ma Lin and the curl fingers the weakness of the curl fingers precisely explained and still improving unto it, to break free from its weakness😊 so that's why I constantly switch to another grip.

[@shashankpandey8346]

For beginner's softcore games, pen holds are the best. You don't need much footworks and you don't need to change the grip for everyball. Like you are using same side for both left and right, so it doesn't confuse you so much. While in the other grip, you switch bat sides from left to right. I always violate this situation by playing placing. They are also weak when the ball comes for their body.

[@chonkman]

really good video I personally use Xu Xin's variant as i have discovered here and yeah its true playing backhand is a pain in the arse

Sadly I stopped playing for 2 years, now that I'm in college there's this event where I wanted to try out for table tennis and I have a a hard time to get back to my usual.

[@charleswilson2134]

Some 50 years ago, I played Penholder in college and many times wanted to change the grip slightly to improve my backhand. I spent a lot of time on my backhand. Topspin backhand was fun! I always wondered, however, if there were Rules prohibiting adding a well formed piece of wood to the back of the blade that would have allowed me to "Grip and Curl" my fingers. Would it be Legal or not? Thank you for your time!

[@chimyshark]

It is legal as the racket can be any shape or size. The only restrictions are to the hitting surface. You must adhere to the guidelines of blade/rubber, material/thickness.

[@celzolsen8988]

how would you go about adding that piece of wood?

[@bryanwells4063]

I would recommend a piece towel or similar material but something which is bacteria resistant, or try a thin sheet of cork glued onto the rubber. The only problem is that it might make rpb harder if you put too much cork on, you need to put just enough so your fingers touch, but still leave space with rubber to hit the balls😊

hello. what rubber combination were you using in this video? thanks!

[@spearscribs]

Great video 👌👌 Though Xu Xin doesn't hold like that, it's more like an open claw with three fingers supporting.

[@chimyshark]

I noticed that too. MLFM only focused on the supporting fingers in the back, but he did the same grip with the index and thumb for all 4 styles, when in reality, XX doesn't wrap his index around the handle, it's just firmly planted on the forehand rubber as is his thumb.

Do you position your fingers differently for the backhand block? I feel like it's hard not to make the blade face upwards on the backhand side

[@Realnigga10000]

Hello, I was thinking what is your opinion on the best grip (not just penhold) pls reply! Ps helpful vid

[@roman2374]

RO. B you can be successful with any style. For casual player it’s often better to play Shakehand - since the wrist has less freedom it is also easier to produce consistent stroke. However I would look for what coaching is available where you live! In most European countries you cant find good Penhold coaching, but if there’s Penhold Trainers close by that will be an advantage. Shakehand is very versatile and you find more equipment! Only some product is produced with Penhold grip which is another disadvantage. Hope this could help. Most important to follow your heart and have fun!

[@draikmage]

Do you have any opinion on a grip in between curled and the two-finger support? The way i play i curl my fingers but not as much as when you played the traditional penhold. I still have two finger contacting the rubber but on the side unlike the two finger support you showed which had fingers almost flat.

[@bryanwells4063]

Both ways work, I used to play with fingers fully splayed on the racket, then completely changed to Wang hao style but slightly curved, now trying to straighten fingers out again for more stability and rubber contact

If you're close to the table and have fast reactions you go for the rpb(reverse penhold backhand) or you can just do the normal penhold backhand which is more defensive but still works perfectly.
