Hi all! I posted a couple of days ago a feeding multi drill with my coach. I’m just sharing a gameplay video and I had a question.

When receiving serve, I start with a neutral grip but more often than not I end up hitting a backhand even though the shuttle is in the forehand corner. It feels very weird to play forehand and I always default to backhand because I think I find the grip more comfortable? How do I get over this? Is it lack of wrist strength?

Thanks!

Hi all! It’s been about 5 months since I’ve started playing and looking for some more advice here.

The drill is: back court smash and front tap on both sides.

I struggle to hit the back court smashes at a good angle (ie in front of me) and feel I’m always reacting to the shuttle and I’m slow? I also really struggle with the forehand taps and even though it’s not the case in the video I’m a lot more comfortable with backhand

Forehand is very unnatural to me as I’m a recent tennis convert. Unrelated but I also find very difficult to change between forehand and backhand grips when I’m playing close to net in doubles. Is there a trick to this?

Thanks!
