Forehand to backhand switch
Training
Abdullah Gilani Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois,
When I play I have trouble switching my forehand to a back hand if the ball is coming down to my backhand. Please advise a drill to work on this deficiency. Thank you
Abdullah

Hi Abdullah,
To improve this you can do a lot of switching drills in training. One simple one is to get your training partner to control the ball alternately to the two sides of the table and you switch from forehand to backhand.
Download a free copy of our Training Drills from the Free downloads section of our site. In there you will find a whole lot of drills that you can utilise. Look for the PingSkills drill and the Triple switch drill. These will also help.

Long Returns
By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
