Hi Alois/Jeff,

I was wondering if the backhand flick against backspin would be more of speed than spin or more of spin than speed.

Thanks

Hi Luigi,

If the ball has backspin it is better to put a bit more topspin rather than speed to lift the ball over the net.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
