Playing a forehand from the backhand area
Strokes
Jamo Fevidal Asked 13 years ago
Hello Jeff & Alois,
When I watch videos of pros, I notice how they move to the place where you are supposed to do a backhand and do a forehand. In what situation should I be doing this?
I appreciate your answer :)

Hi Jamo,
It is good to pivot and make a forehand from the backhand side if your forehand is much better than your backhand and your opponent is keeping you on your backhand side.
However you have to make a good shot from there otherwise your opponent will be able to place the ball wide on your forehand and win the point.
