Backhand
Strokes
Aasim Showkat Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alouis,
I have a little friend in school who started playing Table Tennis before three years. He is good at forehand but zero at backHand. Yesterday he came to me and asked how he can improve his backhand. Can you suggest me some tips about this?

Hi Aasim,
I would say go to the lesson on the Backhand Counterhit first and get him to learn and feel comfortable with it. Then he can progress with other backhand strokes.
It is often just a matter of hitting more balls on the backhand side to start to feel comfortable with the strokes.

Hi Alois,
Sorry to say, but counterhit is very far thing He even doesn't know how to hit with backhand or return a serve with backhand.
Hi Aasim,
He can get the counterhit better. Just get him to do it slowly where you are hitting it to him consistently.
