Utilising my stronger forehand
Strategy
Haris Ansari Asked 7 years ago
Hi coach,
Although my forehand is better than my backhand but during match I become defensive and I use to cover table with backhand in order to block and place ball and I only use forehand only when opponent smash on my forehand, I want to become forehand dominated, please guide me the steps.

Hi Haris,
The first thing to do is set yourself some boundaries where you want to play forehand and backhand. A good starting point is the forehand half of your table divided by the white line.
Then play some practice games where you set yourself these boundaries to play more forehands.
Eventually you will start to feel more comfortable doing this.
