Hi Alois and Jeff, 

Sorry about all the questions lately. I have been looking everywhere for help on this but nothing seems to come up.

What is the timing of the Backhand loop?

Thanks again.

Hi Matt,

You can hit this at several points depending on the type of stroke you want to play.

For a slower loop it is easier to hit the ball later.  If you hit the ball earlier you will be able to hit hit ball faster.  The main thing is that you hit the ball in the same hitting point in relation to your body.  If you keep this consistent you will start to develop a better feel for the backhand.
