Hi Balaji,

You should do a lot of training of balls in this area.  So get your partner to feed a lot of balls in the crossover are and practice making decisions of which to use, forehand or backhand.

This is the only way to improve it by doing it over and over.

Watching the ball well will give you some help because you will pick up the direction of the ball earlier.

To improve your backhand put more focus on it during your training sessions. I found that by just turning my feet slightly to a more backhand position, it made me better prepared for the backhand side in general.  Try that one out.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

Balaji i feel you in too much to your forehand side and avoid backhand as much as possible.this is the reason you are weak in backhand.
