How do I develop a good backhand?

Jeff Plumb Answered 13 years ago

Hi Shaant,

Start by watching our Backhand Counterhit and Backhand Topspin Against Block videos. Really focus on the feet position, the start position, and the finish position. If you can get these right the rest of the stroke will come together.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:

Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.
Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.
Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
