How To Never Hit A Backhand Again: Use This Drill

Summary

Universal Rackets short: how to never hit a backhand again — use this drill. Think of it as footwork and positioning so you run around to the forehand when appropriate — not literal ‘never,’ but a patterning drill.

Key takeaways

• Many ‘forced’ backhands are positioning choices
• A dedicated drill builds the habit of running around
• A concrete drill beats vague advice to ‘move better’
• Balance: still need a reliable BH — this is preference patterning

Action items

• Cross-court feed drill: must take ball on FH side when possible
• Shadow the recovery step after every FH run-around
• Don’t use it to avoid learning BH resets entirely
• Cue: early feet → FH preference → recover middle
