Pinned on backhand
Strategy
david soares Asked 11 years ago
Hello
my opponent serves to my backhand and plays all times to my backhand area and I'm not good at making backhand loop

Hi David,
Try to get the ball on the forehand diagonal early in the rally. Start by serving to their forehand area or receiving their serve to their forehand. This will mean there is more chance that it will come back to your forehand area.
In the long term you need to think about improving your backhand technique so that this isn;t a problem any more.

Hi,
This might also be an alternative. But if the opponent is a good blocker, he will find an open table to play.
