Teach backhand or forehand first
Strokes
Yoan Pelletier Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois ! Let's say I want to teach my little brother. He is 8 years old and wants to become a good table tennis player. Should I teach him backhand or forehand first ? I think that backhand is harder to learn so I thought that if he learned it now, it could be a big advantage because forehand is easier to learn. I wanted your advice on this, thank you ! :)

Hi Yoan,
See which one he wants to learn first. You can introduce both of them and and spend a little time on each during a session.
