Backhand Side spin Topspin

Sasha Savic Asked 13 years ago

Hi, people

My question refers to this type of movement. You see, when penholders execute their backhand topspin like Wang Hao, they get some side spin on their topspin. I am interested can shake hand player achieve the same effect and how? Do you already have a video response about this, and, if not, could you make one? See ya

Hi Sasha,

The shakehanders can get sidespin on the backhand topspin.  There is a Premium member response in the Ask the Coach questions.  Curve with Backhand.

The key is to hit the ball outside the line of the body and drop your wrist to get the angle for the curve on the ball.
