Also, I am having a problem when i do backhand if the ball comes suddenly to my forehand i am not able to react my hand faster is this a problem of my fitness if it is then what should i do or is it the problem of my grip.

Hi Girish,

I think one of the best things for getting faster is to improve your leg strength.  You can do this with weight training.  It is best to go to a gym an get some proper advice with this.  They will be able to watch you and tailor something specifically for you.

The other thing that will help is to do a lot of footwork drills as part of your training.  If you look at the Free Downloads section of the site you will find the Training Drills download that will help you to choose some drills.
