Hi!

I was very excited to see Mima Ito do so well in the Sweden Open. What a fighter!

Do you have any information on how to go about learning her backhand punch shot that she used so effectively? Thanks very much!

Hi Bob,

What a performance by Mima Ito in Sweden.  That backhand is a very flat shot using pimples.  That makes the ball go through very flat almost feeling like it has backspin on it when it goes so fast and low.

It is a high risk shot though as there is little topspin on the ball  She hits the ball by going straight through the ball starting quite high with the bat and moving forward and contacting the ball with a very flat bat.
