I have problems when they chop me on the backhand. How to improve my backhand topspin?

Hi Jordan,
First take a look at our tutorial on the Backhand Topspin Off Backspin. The main things are to have a smooth stroke that travels in one plain. Then relax and get your bat from the start to the finish position. Ensure a brushing action to get the topspin on the ball. Start by doing the stroke slowly to get the feel of the action and then increase the speed.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
