Hi,
I've been trying to fix my forehand ever since I've started playing table tennis
A few issues remain that I can see and perhaps more that you guys can see
Here are some angles of the video
One problem that I've been trying to fix is the way that my wrist goes up when I'm pulling back to play the forehand stroke. My angle is way too closed and you can see my backhand rubber. I've been trying to fix that by adopting a more neutral forehand grip but the problem hasn't completely gone away. I'm still looking for ways to fix this. When my timing is good, I can play a good ball but I can also hit the edge too many times because the angle of the racket is not stable throughout the stroke.
If I'm not in a good position, this also burns me many times.
Here are two pictures to show more clearly what I mean
This is the backswing
And this is when I correct the blade angle.
Ideally, I would like to keep the blade angle stable during the backswing. I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and has suggestions on how to fix this.
Another thing. What are your thoughts on the position of my right foot? Am I too parallel or does my waist movement compensate for it?
