Hi Shripathi,

Timo Boll is a good role model for the forehand.  Kreanga is OK for the backhand but his stroke is quite extreme.  What about someone like Ovtcharov.  I also like of course what Waldner used to do with his backhand especially the control he had and his team mate Jorgen Persson had an amazing backhand.
