Backhand gets block

Strokes

Generally after playing a forehand shot, if the opponent returns me on my backhand, the hand gets blocked? 

So is there any problem in my grip or there is less strength in my back hand.

Hi Anupam,

It may just be that you are balanced towards your forehand so making the backhand difficult.

After you play the forehand, try to get back to a balanced position.  This will allow you to play the ball if it comes to either side next.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
