Backhand stronger than forehand shot pattern?

[derek08844]

My backhand is significantly stronger than my forehand (can hit it harder, more consistent, and direct it better than the forehand side). However, most shot pattern strategies revolve having a strong forehand and hitting run around forehands when given the chance to dictate play. What are some shot patterns/strategies for someone with a stronger backhand (right-handed)?

Keep going cross-court with your backhand until you get a short high one, then flatten it out down-the-line to either approach or elicit a weak shot.

Going cross-court with the backhand will ensure that you get to play more backhands.

Also, work on hitting your forehand down-the-line, either with safer deep looper or forehand slice, to protect from having to hit too many forehands. Avoid hitting the forehand crosscourt unless the short angle is wide open.

This is my formula. It works. It’s been years since I’ve played someone my level with a weaker forehand than me.

Keep going cross-court to your opponent backhand. Expect short balls and step in for volley or overhead.
Once you get bored with hitting BH, put some time into FH practice. Its worth it.

Pattern #1 (relatively easy)

1. CC BH (repeat)
2. Get short ball
3. DTL BH
4. Approach (if necessary)

Pattern #2 (harder)

1. Hit rally CC BH
2. Hit rally CC BH a little harder
3. Hit high power short angle CC BH
