The Power of Penhold(NEW) 

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.

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.

Pen is the best.

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

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.

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...

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Quality better than ITTF videos nowadays

Ma Lin is awesome.

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

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

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

@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.

Penholder never dies 💪💪 💪

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

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

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!

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.

I like see Penholder play.

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.

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....

Ma Lin my idol

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

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

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

increible el video es uno d lso mejroes que he visto

Awesome video! Great graphic!

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

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

Great as always.

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

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

What an amazing video,thank you so much.

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

4:14 is just amazing!

@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 !!!

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

great clips!

@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.

ofcourse penholder, what else... ;-)

@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. :)

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

@007StevenS :D Thanks Steven!:)

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

nice quality!

Great vid, When and where was that first game?

liu guoliang...a true legend

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

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

I love playing penhold ! Faster thanks normal

awesome video!

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

Thanks for upload! love it :)

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

pas assez longue lol! super video

perfect.

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

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

@GecaPhoenix xu xin,ma lin and wang hao

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

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

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

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

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.

@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

sei un mostroo geca!

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

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.

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

Great video.

double bounce in 5:17 ??

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

@FIBONACCIVEGA Wow,thanks a lot man!:)

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

4:45 was also insane

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

4:46 superb...

whoah who was that at 4:20?

are you dutch? i hear dutch commentary

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.

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

thx u Gecaphoenix AAA+

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

What's penhold ?

@WazzaScooba Thanks for your comment man!;)

I think best penholder is wang forehand2 strong xD

@IxchoO21 Hey bro,check out: 4:55 ;) Wang Jian Jun vs Ma Lin! :) Good match;)

ganito ako kagaling
