Weak backhand
Strategy
Paul Davenport Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois,
I've got a weak backhand. Is there anything I can do to compensate for this?

Hi Paul,
Everyone has a weaker side.
However, the important thing is to find strategies to exploit your strengths. The angle or direction you play can help. If you think that a lot of players play cross court then work out where you need to play the ball so you get the ball to your stronger side, the forehand.
Also don't be afraid to play backhands. You don't have to hit winners from the backhand side but just make sure you can control the ball well enough to stop them exploiting that side.
