what is the easiest way of mastering the advanced  backhand where you turn your arm 90 degrees to make the ball hit fast and with spin?

Hi Bashir,

This like all other strokes is a matter of repetitive training to make sure you are doing the stroke correctly and then it is becoming automatic.

Focus on the start and finish position of your arm in particular.  When you get comfortable with this you can also introduce more wrist to generate even more spin and speed.
