The backhand player (left side) has a larger target for cross-court smashes out and a more natural body position for kick, making them primary smashers, while the forehand player (right side) needs more precision and control due to less space.
This is a very insightful look at the strategic roles on court. The coach clearly explains why the backhand player often takes more responsibility for winning points with overhead shots. Understanding the difference in spatial advantages and technical adjustments needed for each side is crucial. It can help you communicate better with your partner and improve your offensive game.
