backhand

Samuel Lim Asked 14 years ago

i've been training for 3 or 4 months already. and my coach told me that my backhand is good and he will develop it more..... but is having a good backhand a good game strategy?

Hi Samuel,

In todays game you need to have 2 strong sides.  The ball is moving too fast to be able to cover the table with one side.  So having a good backhand is important but so is having a good forehand.  

Work on both strokes equally.  If you find that your backhand is a lot stronger then spend some time working on the forehand to get it up to the level.
