Hi Tim,
With the shakehand grip it can be either side. Before a match see if you can watch our particular opponent to see which side they favour.
I guess in most cases players have a weaker backhand than forehand but this is a generalisation.
The biggest factor of weakness for a shakehander is that they have a crossover point. This is the area where they need to change from a forehand to backhand. It is usually somewhere around the armpit area.

yeah but chinese shakehand players kind of duck down to do forehand shot in the armpit area
Yes they stay low which makes it easier to move to that middle ball.
