Strokes

It takes a lot of time to switch between forehand to backhand.

Any tips how to improve it?

Hi Jishnu,

One of the keys I find is to get the player more square to the table.  This allows you to play both strokes from a similar stance.

Take a look at the tutorial on Improving Your Reflexes.  That is where you will find our tips on reducing switching time.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
