Hi alois and Jeff

In spanish we use the word "drive" to make reference to the forehand, and "reves" for backhand.

I listen the past week in some web lessons about the "forehand drive", and the "backhand drive".

What is a "Drive"?

Thanks for answer

A drive is another term for the Forehand Counterhit and Backhand Counterhit.  Take a look at those links to make sure we are talking about the same thing.
