For this reason i think the backhand is harder to learn as it doesn't come so naturally. Theres also other factors involved such as the backhand is a longer stroke and requires more precise timing which is harder to execute when given little reaction time. danny_shank View Public Profile Send a private message to danny_shank Find all posts by danny_shank
