Greetings coach. I want to ask you about the backhand topspin follow through. I am not able to hit my backhand topspin fluently due to my wrong follow through. Whenever i hit a backhand topspin it either rushes to the net or goes out of the table. Can you tell me what is the correct backhand topspin follow through using which i can hit a fluent backhand topspin?

Thank you.

Hi Jack,

There are a few ways to think about the finish position for the topspin.  One is to think of your arm being a ramp at the end of the stroke.

Another way is to make sure that your bat goes past your elbow in the swing.  You can also pick out a spot on the roof that you can get your hand to move towards at the end of your swing.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
