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.

Most people want to rush into details on how to beat certain styles of player but before you can do that you need to work out a couple of things. Firstly what are your strengths? What are your opponents weaknesses? These are critical to formulating a plan. This week we are going to focus on your strengths and next week we'll tackle your opponents weaknesses.
