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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

I'm totally opposite. I write with left play with write.
