How much time to train my left forehand?

[acintya]

how much time I would need to train my leftie forehand .. at least at 70% power of my right hand? I am natural right hander but I want to play this way - because I play double handed backhand of a leftie -.. if you know what i mean.

nadal scenario... when i began play I unjured my right hand and could play onehanded forehand for a year- so I played instead iof the forehand the leftie double handed backhand (right hand on top - non dominant left at the bottom)..

thanks for tips!

clearly it's possible:

how long will probably depend on a million variables, only you can fill in the answer for.
so hopefully you'll post a before/after vid, and tell us how long it took you

How long did your present rightie forehand take?
Count on about 2/3rds that time.
You already know how to hit it, it's just strength and repetition.

The keys will be a) how old you are and b) how naturally ambidextrous you are. Most people that can play both ways were left handed from birth or naturally ambidextrous. People that are strongly right hand dominant struggle more using the left hand. Younger brains can figure things out faster than older brains.

Expect 6 months if you are over 30 and 3 months if you are under 20. Shorten it in half if you are naturally ambidextrous
