I only use my backhand.

For some reason I only use my backhand. Its just a habit. I always try to practice with my forehand and it still doesn't feel right. I'm good with my backhand but the forehand would help sometimes too. I use the normal grip. No pen hold.

Hi Austin,

i often find in this situation that players stance is the key.  In a match try to stand witur your left leg slightly more forward, closer to the table.  This will get you into a more comfortable position to hit the forehand which will encourage you to play more forehands.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
