Touching with backhand from forehand side
Strokes
Tam Eastwood Asked 9 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.

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:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- 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.
