Hi Akshay,

The crossover point is where they need to chage between a forehand and backhand.  It is usually for most players in line with their armpit.  Some players will tend to favour their forehand and play forehands from a wider area and some players will do the same with the backhand.

It is a good area to play to because there can be indecision as to which shot they should play from that area.
