Backhand Loop

Alois Rosario Answered 18 years ago

Hi William,

We will do a video on the Backhand loop or topspin soon. Here are the basics.

Staying with our principles of start and finish positions:

Start with your bat at knee high and in fron tof you or near your left knee (For right hander). Swing up and forward and finish with your bat at head high and on the right hand side of your body.

Remember when you are lifting backspin the swing needs to be more vertical. The contact needs to be a brushing action. Look at the video on the
Forehand Topspin against Backspin and adapt it to the backhand. A lot of the principles are the same.

We would love for other readers to share their experiences on how they learned the Backhand Topspin. Add your comments below.
