control on shots while
avoiding the chances of a
wrist injury. A proper grip
will allow you to play both
backhand and forehand
strokes effortlessly.
Backhand and forehand Grip
The only difference while playing the 2 kinds of
strokes is in the use of fingers.
*Push the index finger forward while playing
forehand strokes.
*Push the thumb forward while playing backhand
strokes.
2. STANCE
This stance is to be
ready for the opponent’s
return after playing a net
shot.

and even experts face difficulty in playing the
stroke. Still, it is important to practice and get the

is extremely important. Also, it is equally
important to return back to stance.
