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.

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.
