The inside-out forehand is a powerful shot that advanced players can use to exploit opponents' positioning and create difficult angles. Unlike a traditional forehand, this technique involves hitting the ball across your body, sending it in the opposite direction of your opponent’s expectation.
To execute, position yourself as if you're preparing to hit a forehand down the line. At the last moment, rotate your body and flick your wrist to send the ball crosscourt. The inside-out forehand forces your opponent to adjust quickly, often leaving them scrambling to cover the unexpected angle.
This shot is especially effective when your opponent is leaning toward the center of the court or overcommitting to one side. Mastering the inside-out forehand will add an unpredictable, offensive weapon to your arsenal and open up new attacking opportunities.
