Forehand Stronger Than Backhand
Strokes
Nikhil Bathla Asked 12 years ago
My forehand is a lot better and consistent from my backhand so on some balls near my backhand i really get confused to play the shot with backhand or forehand.

Hi Nikhil,
A lot of players have stronger forehands than backhands. If you develop good footwork then you can play a lot more forehands which will suit your game.
Having said that, it's important to develop your backhand. When you train spend some time on developing this stroke. I often see players make a big jump in their level once they get confident playing backhand topspins.

when balls go to my backhand, i naturally try and chop or block it. how do i over come that instinct and is it normal to do this?
You should get a mindset of wanting to attack each of these balls. In training only allow yourself to attack any of these type of balls.

All i do is to get a strong fh loop, good bh block or counterhit. Bh loop is also good but it is not as speedy and fast- generally
