I'm a good backhanded player  so I'm not at all good in forehand so please tell me how shall I switch to forehand.

Or is it good to be a backhander.

Hi Krishna,

It is OK to be a backhand dominant player.  If you are wanting to focus more on the forehand, start with altering your feet position.  Try getting your left foot a bit closer to the table than your right foot.  This will turn your body into a better position to make the forehand strokes.

Forehand Flick

When your opponent plays a short ball to your forehand, you can play an attacking stroke by using the flick. This stroke is also known as the flip.

I used to be like that too. What I did was to switch to penhold grip. That forced me to use forehand. Got used to it, then switched back to shakehand grip.

It can work.  It is however very difficult to do.
