The perfect Penhold player is someone who has the RPB of Wang Hao, Killer FH and amazing Footwork of RYU SEUNG MIN and the mental toughness of MA LIN.

I am a penholder and i know the disadventage of being a penhold but I choose to be a penhold cause it makes me do a lot of footwork ,that way i stay fit and lean.

Pen is the best.

GecaPhoenix I remember watching your vids a few years back and actually requested you to make this vid. Stumbled upon it once again. Ah, such good memories. Been a while since i picked up my bat. In the mood right now.

Man, those penholders have incredible footworks. Thanks for the vid. Once more great job.

Thank you so much for comments guys! :) Who is your favourite Penhold player? I like so much Xu Xin's style and Kim Taek Soo.

@BollForte94 Hehe,you're right bro,amazing point!;D But I already put that point in many videos,so I choose to put new points(for example Ma Lin vs Ma Long or Ma Lin vs Tang Peng ecc...). Thanks for your comment. :)

Geca thank you very much for one penhold vid. Waiting so long :) Great points and nice cuts ! :)

a.k.a., the Ma Lin and Xu Xin show. Thanks for putting this together.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. At last, ive waited so long for this. Thanks Geca. Much appreciated man. Well done once again.

fantastic man!!!! your are the best! inspirational!! P.S thanks for putting my new channel in the description :))

@Irfan87 I'm glad you liked this video Irfan!Thanks for your comment and rate:) Great point man!But I didn't put it because of the low quality.

Excelent as always Geca... The advantage of a penholder is for sure the capability of using their forehand in almost every point of the table... by the way my favorite penhold player is indeed Wang Hao, cuz his topspin game and his great reverse backhand that complements his forehand...

Great video. Im a pen-hold player too. Thanks for sharing!

4:45 is he zhi wen. He plays short pips and has a wonderful directional blocking game.

I love penholders. I'm shakehand but I want to turn into penholder. The only weakness is the backhand,in penhold technique I find natural to do the backhand like japanease penholders grip does, but I admit that penhold reverse backand of chinese penhold grips is so much powerful and effective. I'd like to try a chinese penhold blade to try the reverse backhand,but I have just little portion of blade to do this,from the middle to the border,is easy to miss the hit. Long life to penholders!

Great vid and great quality bro :) awesome last point too !

GREAT JOB MAN another great table tennis video I am a penholder so i loved this video keep this great job man

@tyoungos Yeah,Wang Hao is amazing man.Incredible BH! Thanks for your comment:)

Hey Geca, I like so much of your videos and I was waiting for someone like this one because I'm a Penholder player... Great Video! Congratulations! Oh, and I would like to see you make a video like a tribute or something like that for JO Waldner... I think he's the best of all times!

I wanna see Waldner playing penhold... After seeing this vid haha. So for Waldner, just record a video with you playing penhold style.

Hey guys, it's very interesting to read your opinions about the best Penhold player! Many thanks!Have a good weekend everyone.

Great as always.

Awesome video! Great graphic!

Ma Lin is awesome.

Quality better than ITTF videos nowadays

DAMM IT, 0:17 WHAT A FCKIN PENHOLD BACKHAND SIMPLY GODLIKE!!!

@BollForte94 :-) No problem,I'm glad you liked it bro.Thanks again for post:)

@GecaPhoenix no - thank you for the vids. And mine is Xu Xin as well, can't think of more powerfull forehand. Love his match agains Ma Long, awesome rallies.

Thanks for upload! love it :)

great clips!

@GecaPhoenix Awesome thanks! Really like your song choices for you videos!

@kevinfzkevinfz The song is Love and Loss(by Two Steps from Hell).

What an amazing video,thank you so much.

Penholder never dies 💪💪 💪

@TTSchnibra Thanks a lot Schnibra;) The song is Love & Loss(by Two Steps From Hell).Love this music man:)

@GecaPhoenix thanks =D i love your videos keep making em!!

Thanks to everyone for all comments and rate,guys! Have a good weekend.

@tanguydu222 penhold is the style of the players how they hold the racket. for example: Timo Boll plays shakehand and Ma Lin plays Penhold

@kenneth97913 The song is Synaesthetic(by blue man group).

só não entendi pq vc botou o ponto no 1:44, pois é o Ma Long que pontua (ele é classista)

@WazzaScooba Thanks for your comment man!;)

awesome video!

since 1988, 4 times olympic champions by penholder!!! Love more the style of jp-pen -so grace- like Kim taek soo and ryu seung min then chinese-pen. but wang hao, xu xin and in 80s jiang jialing (many forget about this very beautiful played style) are also good... thanks....

The penhold grip, in my opinion, is harder to perfect than shakehand, especially the reverse penhold. I have gone from a regular penhold(japanese & chinese) to a reverse penhold, & now to shakehand. I feel that the shakehand is quicker on the backhand side & easily blocks heavy loopers on both sides. Penhold has better control & touch on serves but shakehand has better returns. Ultimately, it lies in the hands of the player as to how good he wants to be w/ any style. As Ma Lin w/ penhold.

@Isaac231LGB Thanks a lot for your post friend,I'm glad you liked this trailer:) I'll try to make also a tribute to the Mozart of TT in the future;)

@007StevenS :D Thanks Steven!:)

@BarnabasG No problem bro,thanks too! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) Thanks a lot also for sub to my channel,you're welcome.

increible el video es uno d lso mejroes que he visto

I like see Penholder play.

Xu Xin is so amazing and Wang Hao too and Ma Lin

@GecaPhoenix Xu Xin´s matches are pure ecstasy, he has one of the fittest bodies, most aggressive styles and both the technique and determination to be #1 !!!

Great vid, When and where was that first game?

4:14 is just amazing!

@GecaPhoenix What's the song at 3:02? It sounds really nice

Awsome video :D

@GecaPhoenix xu xin,ma lin and wang hao

Camera man at 4:40 going "Aha, table tennis i see."

ofcourse penholder, what else... ;-)

@GecaPhoenix what's the song at 0:38?? it's awesome

Ma Lin my idol

Awesome Vid, Geca, as always! ;-) What is the name of yours intro song? It's awesome too :) Greetz Schnibra

nice quality!

PENHOLD ROCKS \m/ OH BY THE WAY IM A PENHOLDER! :D AND I AGREE THAT PENHOLD HAVE THE MOST POWERFUL TOPSPIN! THATS WHY I LOVE BEING A PENHOLDER! I SALUTE ALL THE PENHOLDERS! :D

Great video.

Think of this: Current World Champion: Penholder: Wang Hao The last two olympic champions: Penholder: Ryu Seung Min and Ma Lin No Shakehander :D If you mastered the chinese penholder you are unbeatable

@GecaPhoenix at 1:51 How old was Ma long there?

Geca, what's the title of the song that starts at 0:38?

@ttmaster10 Actually my first coach was my dad who taught me with the penhold grip but when i trained with a new coach i learned shakehand... actually both are pretty fun to play.. but the only thing i got stuck with was i got used to getting many shots by my forehand.

Ma Lin is a lion and I luv Ryu Seong Min

@waynebenn45 I'm glad you liked this quality,thanks a lot for post man:)

pas assez longue lol! super video

@ttmaster10 i was a former penholder and now i use shakehand... actually for me both are good and both have strengths and weaknesses...

Xu Xin is so amazing and Wang Hao too and Ma Lin

@ixxbazxxi Good idea man,thanks! In the future I'll try to make also a Tribute to Germany and China Team!:)

liu guoliang...a true legend

@ytchiening Yeah,thanks for your post and thanks for remembering jiang jialiang! Amazing player!:)

where i find a single video of this serve 4:45 ?

perfect.

I love playing penhold ! Faster thanks normal

look at that footwork at 2:00 clip by Ma Lin. Thats ungodly. There is no other player than him who can position himself so perfectly for every shot. Its only a shame he was playing Ma Long at the time who was the only player at the time who couldve won that point.

@oryxfreeride Yeah bro,this point is amazing!But the quality is too low for a video HD:(

4:45 was also insane

@ttCrawsaive Yeah bro,4:55!;D Thanks for your post,I'm glad you liked this little trailer:)

It is the penholders that add the much needed personality and unpredictability to the sport, similar to what single-handed topspin backhands are to tennis. They are both dying arts in their sports dominated by robots.

Anyone else have no idea how they learned to do penhold? The first time I played ping pong I had no idea what shakehold or penhold was and never watched ping pong in my life, yet I somehow used the penhold without anyone teaching me or showing me what it looked like. It's really strange.. maybe it's because I'm Chinese.

sei un mostroo geca!

What the heck is that ball in 4:45, that looks so amazing

That was almost "kneework". Lol.

4:46 superb...

@SunnieSue70 Grazie sunnie!!!;)Gentilissima!;)

double bounce in 5:17 ??

What's penhold ?

@yordancho LGL vs. Ma Lin.

Amazing ;) two steps from hell an geca for the win^^

(NEW) - 12 years ago

ganito ako kagaling

I'd like to see the power of antispin or the power of pips

Sou brasileiro, mas o WANG HAO humilha ! ☆☆☆☆☆☆

I think best penholder is wang forehand2 strong xD
