Is your swing a forehand or backhand?

[Jimbooo]

Just curious what the spread is.

For me, I'm a leftie playing righty, so my swing feels like a backhand for me. I'm curious to see if any of you believe this helps or hinders your game.

Mine feels like a gentle drop shot, just over the net.

 

[Mozza73]

Neither.

I often need a second serve.

FAULT!!!

At the moment backhand, but working on the forehand feeling.

Forehand pile driver when someone your not fond of is at the net type of shot

Contradiction of tennis analogy tho is in tennis the back hand shot is played with the front hand and the fore hand shot is played with your back hand



So im using my back hand dominantly to hit a forehand shot ............. confused yet .. i am

I am the same as you and I think it helps.

David Gower is the same but opposite if you see what I mean. Right handed batsmen and played left handed - same reasoning but for a different sport.

Predominantly a left arm backhand.

Mate of mine plays right hand clubs but grips it right hand above left. Plays to a pretty decent standard aswell.

I've dislocated my right shoulder 12 times so definately backhand for me.

 

[Foxholer]

Topspin forehand down the line is a good feeling for me!

Bad shot feels like a forehand cross-court drop shot! Seriously out to in and quitting on it!

^ Backhand but a left handed one, and I'm right handed.

If my right hand has too much too much say through impact the wheels fall off very quickly.

Backhand most of the time apart from when it feels like I've got ahead of myself and I have to whip the right hand through to catch up - goes bl00dy miles when this happens but generally down the right side...

Leftie playing right handed so backhand for me, also for putting.

 

[Jimbooo]

Interesting replies/votes so far.

Being a leftie playing right handed, I always find doing those right-hand only drills (skim the pebble, etc) a little awkward and not natural at all. I seem to be currently having difficulty in my swing getting the right-elbow in front of my body on the downswing - it seems to get stuck more often than not and I have a feeling it might be something to do with being left-handed and kinda forgetting about the right-arm - because it's not a natural "throwing" motion. Just a theory of course - maybe I'm just looking for an excuse for being crap

Equal balance in hands. Yin Yang.

Full bloodied six back over the bowlers head, oh sorry wrong game, make that over the surrounding net....
