I had a lot of problems while dealing with a left-handed, though i know my skills are better than them and i know their weakness, why am i not able to win them and exploit their weakness?

Hi Brayden,

It may just be a matter of getting enough opportunities to play against left handers.  It is like most other things, the more times you do it the better you will get.

Remember their forehand and backhands come from different directions but that is the main difference. 

Your backhand across to their wide forehand can be effective against a left hander.
