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.
