Hi Debanjan,

Try to stand more square on.  Have your bat ready in the middle and be prepared mentally for the ball to come to either side.  That means that you need to think about the ball coming to both sides.  Often when we have a preferred side we want the ball to come there and in our minds we only prefer for that side.

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.
