Hello coach,i have a problem whenever i do a forehand shot it always goes to the forehand of the opponent and not backhand due to which he can always predict my forehand shots and return it.  Can u suggest a solution ?

Thank You

Hi Aravind,

To change the direction of the ball you can do two things.  You can just change the angle of your wrist or you can hit the ball a little later to get the ball to go down the line.  You don't need to make a big change to get the ball to go to different positions.
