Left-Hand and Right-Hand
Strokes
James Hutson Asked 12 years ago
Lately, I've been having trouble what hand I'm comfortable with. I am typically a right-handed person and most of the things I do such as writing etc, but when I play ping-pong the right hand feels wrong and every way. I have to use my left hand which feels pretty comfortable, but I also have the problem, with not being able to hit a forehand shot with my left arm.
So my question is, what should I do about this? And is it common to feel that the left hand is more comfortable?

Hi James,
I write with my right hand and play Table Tennis with my left. Just see which is more comfortable for you.
If it is your left hand then you can work on your technique with the stroke. It will get better.
