Hello Jeff and Alois,

How come when Jeff plays his backhand stroke in a few of your videos he seems to only do half the the stoke and not go into the finish position but still do the stroke correctly?

Hi Wasiq,

He is more advanced and sometimes shows the shorter swing.  Eventually you can shorten your strokes to allow for the amount of time you have.  Initially when learning though it is essential that you follow through all the way to the correct finish position.
