Backhand and Forehand

Strokes

ram enjoy2000 Asked 14 years ago

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.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
