Hi,

What are the adjustments that need to be made in order to return the ball down the line with the backhand. When I try the stroke, it ends up being very awkward and uncomfortable. Please compare and contrast this with the cross-court backhand stroke.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Viki,

The main thing is to adjust the angle of your wrist and the timing of the ball.  If you hit the ball a little later it will get the ball down the line.  Don't make too much of an adjustment.  It only take a small change.
