Backhand dominant

Strategy

If one's backhand is stronger so can he max the use of backhand instead of playing with forehand?

Hi Vidit,

Yes that is OK.  Just move yourself slightly across to the right so that you have more of the table covered with the backhand.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.

Sir, Is 'Backhand dominant playing'  recommended by most coaches?

It is moving a little more that way now with the backhand return of serve becoming more dominant.  In general though the forehand is still dominant in the rally because there is more scope for adjustment especially with the higher balls.
