Best way to practice forehand

Training

Drew DrewTT Asked 13 years ago

My playing partner happens to be a lefty, so I have gotten a lot better with my backhand than I previously was. The problem is, when I go to play a righty, my forehand seems to be a lot weaker, as it doesn't get as much practice. Keep in mind me and my playing partner are at the intermediate level, so the majority of shots are cross court, hence why my forehand is not hit to much.

Thanks!

Hi Drew,

In your hitting or training times take the time to just practice on the forehand diagonal.  You can practice hitting as many balls as you can fro your forehand to his backhand corner.  It will probably also improve his backhand.

#12 - Defensive Technique

Although attacking is the most popular style at the top level in Table Tennis, it is important to be able to defend well. If you choose to play a defensive style then you should be practicing these strokes all the time. If you play an attacking stroke then you should still try and find some time for these strokes. If you can win one extra point by defending well when pressured, it could make the difference between winning and losing.
