Footwork
Hey coaches, which foot should i put in front of my other when playing forehand and backhand strokes?
Hi Jack,
When playing close to the table you can be quite square on to the table. If anything you can have your left foot slightly in front of the right for both forehand and backhand.
As you move further away from the table you can be more side on for both strokes. Left foot forward for the forehand and right foot forward for the backhand.
Watch this video response to the question titled Which Foot Forward for Backhand and Forehands.
