Dear Coach,

I have a question about the forehand and backhand techniques. What are the three components of Forehand, and what are the three components of backhand.

Hi Sha,

The start finish and contact pints are the key components that we stress.

Take a look at the tutorials on the Forehand Counterhit and the Backhand Counterhit.  These will show the 3 points we talk about.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
