Hi Alois:

I have noticed players using forehand as their mean weapon to go for the kill or play a forceful shot and use backhand for defense or place a drop shot.   Whether playing a forceful shot using a backhand is much more complicated  than playing with a forehand.

Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,

Some players do prefer the backhand.  It does not need to be a more complicated shot at all.  It is a matter of getting the stroke correct and fluent.

Always think about the start and finish positions of the stroke and then get as fluent a path between the two.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
