Touching with backhand from forehand side
Strokes
Tam Eastwood Asked 10 years ago
Can touching with your backhand from forehand side be used as a substitute for forehand touch as I have seen many young players use it. Is it because you can achieve a better angle?
Thanks

Hi Tam,
This is something that more players are doing now. A lot is to do with the ability to use the wrist on the backhand and more efficient stroke.
It really is a personal preference as to what you go with.
