Finger on backhand

Sir, i'm a shake-hand grip holder. when i do backhand  defense, my finger interrupts the ball and flies of somewhere . How to correct it?

Hi Earl,

Make sure you keep your finger down low on the racket.  This will help you to make sure the ball doesn't hit your finger.

The other thing that will help is if you watch the ball carefully.
