Backhand return
Training
pradeep chowdhary Asked 10 years ago
While practicing stroke I find myself quite comfortable executing my backhand. But during game when my opponent blocks , or drive on my backhand I find my backhand return stuck to the net most often.

Hi Pradeep,
Often when it gets to a game situation the main difference is that you don’t know where the ball is coming.
In training, start to do some more random drills where you don’t know where the ball is coming part of the time.
Take a look at our Training Drills free download and look for the Random Drills that you can practice.

It's not only your topspin strokes which can benefit from some variation in speed. Pushes also can become very effective when their speed is mixed up. In this session we focus on slow and fast pushes.

I think to watch the opponent ( a glance ) allows to know better where the ball arrive
Hi Martinand,
I don't think it's a great idea to glance at your opponent. If you do this it's hard to look back and track the ball. If you focus solely on the ball then you'll react quicker and with your peripheral vision you'll still pick up all the information you need about your opponent.
