Backhand Block and Forehand Topspin
Match Strategy
Kenneth Samson Asked 11 years ago
How can I outsmart a Left Handed Player with a good backhand block and Good Forehand topspin but I have a Good Backhand but not good in Forehand ?

Hi Kenneth,
First you need to see if your backhand is stronger than his forehand in the rally. If it is then you should try to play a lot on that diagonal. Even if his forehand side is his stronger side, if your backhand is better then that is the direction you should play. If that doesn't work then try the other diagonal. Again even though that is your weaker side, if it is stronger than his backhand then that is the diagonal you should play a lot of balls.

Thanks it helps but after a week, he improves a lot. His backhand is much stronger now than before that he can now play a topspin at his backhand and his forehand loop is unpredictable so i always avoid defending to this guy but it's very hard because of his flicks, i always ended up chopping. I can do a rally of topspin vs topspin, is this the right thing or should i chop until he make a mistake?

You should keep going with thinking about improving your own game first. Make the attacking strokes. If you go back and become defensive you are not taking your game forward.
