Hi People!
I've been trying to improve my backhand some time ago, and I'm getter better with the time. Now I can loop almost consistently, can do some spinny slow loops, and loop kills fro backhand. I think I can improve much more my backhand, but I think it's already a good enough BH to use in match play.
So here comes the problem. I think I already explained this on another thread. Since I was a kid, my first coach said me I should play all forehand as I was a tall guy, plus my favourite players in that time we're Michael Maze, RSM and Chen Qi, so I tried to copy something of each player and I developed a game thats based in strong serve and third ball attack, but everytime that someone put the ball in my backhand and I didn't had time to move I ended up lobbing behind the table and trying to counter attack behind the table. But this is a high risk playstyle, that depend's too much on my physical shape in the moment, It's a bit tiring to play like this in tournaments and it has no longevity, I can't play like this when I get older, too physical demanding.
And I've been trying to introduce much more my backhand in match play, as I have enough technique and feel confident to play it. I receive great part from the services with backhand, do banana's and strawberry flicks, and better than that, I feel that's easier to stay in table. But I get too passive, from a crazy game from lobbing and strong topspins my game turns into a slow opening loops and loops on top of the table, I feel I don't have enough time to do strong loops like I did before with playing all forehand.
And also my brain worked all the time like - "it's easy, it's all forehand, just have to run everywhere the ball is and hit the ball with forehand", and now I always have the decision when the ball goes from the backhand/middle side - "Wow wait, I'll hit with BH or move and play with FH?" and with that I loose some precious time to play a good stroke and have to be more passive. So it makes me a bit slow on reaction.
And the last thing, It's truly hard to me to change from BH to FH and from FH to BH, not only because the reaction, but I get discoordinated, maybe because I always played a FH position in all the table and it's dificult to make the transition like this, and when I open the point with backhand it's also hard to change to FH because of the feet position.
So what I have to ask, in the long run, it will be a positive change? As people say when someone changes to pips out rubber "You have to endure some losses for some time before getting to know how to play with P.O. rubber?", it applies also to this? Or should I continue to play all forehand and be more effective, but stagnate? Waiting for your answer!! Thanks in advance
