Backhand vs forehand

Training

Okay I am apparently a somewhat backhand dominant player as I found out the other day my question is, in training, how much time should I give towards  training the backhand vs the forehand?  Should I train them equally or focus more on the forehand to catch it up?

Hi Sean,

I would train them equally.  Even though you are currently forehand dominant, things do change and you don't want your forehand to be a weakness.

This is the second training plan focusing on match strategy. Last week we looked at your strengths and building a game around that. This week you should examine one of your competitors and pick out their weaknesses. Then you can design some training drills to expose those weaknesses. By doing this you'll be able to exploit them in a match situation and win points more easily.
