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.

When playing against a chopper, it is important to use the drop shot to break up your opponents rhythym. By forcing them to come close to the table, your next offensive storke will be more effective.
