Weak backhand
Strokes
jack neo Asked 13 years ago
Hey coaches, i currently have a stronger forehand than my backhand. I don't really loop with my backhand and usually pivot often to cover it. This led to errors in my play. Even when receiving a long side top serve to my backhand i try to counter it but the ball goes to the net. Do i need to brush the ball or just follow through more?

Hi Jack,
It sounds like you need to just brush the ball a little more and have more of a vertical stroke. This will lift the ball higher.
It could also be that you aren't making good position to make the stroke.
See if you can focus on these two things and see if the stroke improves.
