Backhand vs forehand

Training

Okay I am apparently a somewhat backhand dominant player as I found out the other day my question is, in training, how much time should I give towards  training the backhand vs the forehand?  Should I train them equally or focus more on the forehand to catch it up?

Hi Sean,

I would train them equally.  Even though you are currently forehand dominant, things do change and you don't want your forehand to be a weakness.

Make sure you pay attention to your backhand and develop it so that you opponent cannot get a soft ball by simply playing to your backhand.
