Backhand and Forehand

Strokes

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.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
