Backhands
Strokes
Laura Foulds Asked 14 years ago
I am really struggling with a topspin backhand, do you have any tips?

Hi Laura,
Like with all our coaching we try to keep it simple. The key elements are the balanced leg position, the start position of your bat and the most important of all the finish position of your bat.
Take a look again at the lesson on the Backhand Topspin and focus on these things.
Then go out and practice the stroke slowly at first till you feel comfortable at a slow pace before moving on. You can even do it without the ball, so just swing in front of a mirror and see what the stroke looks like.

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.
