Backhand drive
Strokes
Rai Ping Asked 9 years ago
Dear Alios/Jeff,
For my backhand drive, my racket should make some 45 degree angle with the table in principle, but when I start playing, my racket (bat) faces upward making more than 90 degree angle. I tried my hardest to maintain this racket angle, but in vain. When I make this angle, the ball ends up hitting the net. I even watched a lot of YouTube videos about it, I could not help myself.
How can I fix this problem of racket angle?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rai,
Focus on the finish position of the racket that we show you. Think about the bat being in a position like you are taking a 'Selfie' with the forehand side of your bat. If you get it to there, you will get the racket at the right angle.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
