My backhand is much more consistent and an all-around better shot than my forehand. My forehand is still a very good shot but it has a tendency to go "off", way, way off. My backhand is a consistent shot that I drive deep into the court and hit plenty of winners off of. Currently my stratagy is to try to get into backhand crosscourt rallies when I usualy win. However, I have problems taking my forehand up the line to get into these types of rallies. Without changing any form on my shots how can I accomplish this more? Should I run around my forehand, or slice it up the line? Please keep in mind that I play at a top junior state/sectional level. Thanks for any help.

to give yourself a margin for error when your hitting your forehand up the line hit with a good amount of topspin and a couple feet left of the line (assuming you are a righty) and even if they run around it to their forehand, you will have a considerable amount of open court to work with.
