Backswing
Strokes
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago
hi alois and jeff,
i ve seen many players who take a more back-forth backswing and those who go for a semi circular one .(fh)
which is better in terms of generating speed and spin?

Hi Shripathi,
All high level players use the rotation of their body during the stroke. Some players will extend their follow through a bit more forward for more speed. They are both very similar. Do what feels more natural for you.

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.
