Strokes
For some reason I only use my backhand. Its just a habit. I always try to practice with my forehand and it still doesn't feel right. I'm good with my backhand but the forehand would help sometimes too. I use the normal grip. No pen hold.
Hi Austin,
i often find in this situation that players stance is the key. In a match try to stand witur your left leg slightly more forward, closer to the table. This will get you into a more comfortable position to hit the forehand which will encourage you to play more forehands.
Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
