Switching between forehand and backhand
Strokes
Nikhil Bathla Asked 13 years ago
i am having a problem that during receiving or in a rally i am finding it a bit difficult to switch between backhand to forehand with traditional penhold backhand mainly i am not able to close the racket angle and most of the balls fly in the air. How can i solve this problem.

Hi Nikhil,
You can start to use your finger a little to get the racket over the top of the ball. It doesn't take much of a grip change but it will help you to get the angle right.
In training practice a lot of switching drills between backhand and forehand. Take a look at our Free Downloads page for the Training Drills download. Choose some drills from there that you can use in training.

Slow to Fast Progression
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
