Why don't more people develop stronger backhands? In a lot of competitive matches, people often attack each others' backhands. I would think that this would give people a lot of practice on the backhand wing. The backhand is also usually a less complicated shot. Even if you are playing a bit stiff it shouldn't change the stroke as much as the forehand. At the pro level, I can understand that the mechanics of each stroke allow the forehand to be more powerful, but at lower levels there should not be such a difference.
