Backhand Counterhit
Strokes
hassaan kausar Asked 14 years ago
hello sir. i wanted to mention and ask u a very important thing about the basic BH counterhit as this is the training video of pingskills link given below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvECHF60cu8
in this link i noticed that sir jeff has kept his elbow inclined downwards in the starting position and then finishes lifting it.
I have also noticed that there are other methods where you hold your elbow up to play the backhand.
Why is this difference in coaching and plz sir do tell us which technique to adopt and what inclination of the elbow should be kept while counterhitting?

Hi Hassaan,
There are aways differences in ways of playing strokes. If you are more backhand oriented then having the elbow up higher can work for you.
To learn the stroke initially I think the way that Jeff shows you is the best way to learn as it places less strain on the arm and shoulder and will feel more natural. Keep your shoulder and arm relaxed for best results.

In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
