Hey North Americans, don't be backhand buffoons

[Adele]

I know you North Americans view table tennis as a basement silly game of ping pong and can be played using jsut your backhand.
But FYI tabletennis is more of a forehand dominant sport than other racket sports.

Backhand is of course very important but one needs to develop their forehand as well.

Will you go to tennis coach wearing high heels and tell the tennis coach that you don't need to learn to play forehand but want to learn to play just backhand ?

Table tennis is not considered a formal sport in America.
It is considered a laughable basement game
