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.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
