Backhand consistency

Strokes

Thomas Lechmere-Oertel Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois

I am having trouble with my fast Backhand topspin consistency. I can hit my BH topspin slowly and consistently but when I hit it hard it generally goes in the net. Please can you help. Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Try to maintain the techniques you are using for the slower topspin. Often when we try to hit the ball faster we change our stroke. Just get the bat to move through your swing a little faster.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.

Hi Alois

The advise you gave me worked well. Thanks a lot. I won a match against my dad thanks to my backhand. Thomas
