“Let’s just play a few games.”
You get to the hall, warm up – and then? No plan, no focused work on your weaknesses. Coaches rarely have time to prepare something for everyone, and the table time goes on thinking instead of training. Penhold does the thinking for you.
What do you want to work on?
This is the app’s real engine – the same exercises, the same recommended durations, the same diagrams as on the phone.

Taking the initiative from the push rally
In this exercise the active player takes on a reactive role and waits until they get the chance to attack from the forehand. The passive player decides when the active player can attack on the forehand.
you your partner · the numbers are the stroke order
Footwork, consistency, opening, defense, match play – several at once if you like. Only easy, medium or hard if you want, only forehand or backhand, regular or irregular.
Animated diagram with ball path, stroke order, forehand and backhand. Just hand your partner the phone – they get the exercise straight away.

One exercise after another, with a countdown. Swipe for the next one. The screen stays on while you train.
Set which hand you and your partner play with. The exercises follow you – diagonal stays diagonal.

I’m Bene. I’ve played table tennis for 16 years. But only when I started learning the game all over again as a defender with short pimples did I realise: without a systematic plan and the right exercises, you don’t get any better.
So I collected exercises from coaches and strong players, wrote them down and drew them. That became Penhold – for everyone who wants to spend their table time training again, not planning.
