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.

#38 - Backhand 3rd Ball Attack

The backhand topspin off backspin is often considered a harder shot than the forehand. In this week's training session we focus on utilising this shot to make a 3rd ball attack. If you can master this your opponents will find it difficult to stop you attacking and you will constantly have them under pressure.
