Left-Hand and Right-Hand
Strokes
James Hutson Asked 12 years ago
Lately, I've been having trouble what hand I'm comfortable with. I am typically a right-handed person and most of the things I do such as writing etc, but when I play ping-pong the right hand feels wrong and every way. I have to use my left hand which feels pretty comfortable, but I also have the problem, with not being able to hit a forehand shot with my left arm.
So my question is, what should I do about this? And is it common to feel that the left hand is more comfortable?

Hi James,
I write with my right hand and play Table Tennis with my left. Just see which is more comfortable for you.
If it is your left hand then you can work on your technique with the stroke. It will get better.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
