New backhand technique
Strokes
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago
Hi alois and jeff,
My coach has insisted i learn a completely new backhand technique as he felt it is my old one that pulled me down! i have never played a long stroke in my life and seriously need help with this.
starting off from counterhits how do i change my stroke as i get a lot of spin in the ball with a long stroke (but hardly any pace;its almost like those slow spinny topspins) and how to use wrist and impart more speed?
Moreover wont longer strokes be a headache for over the table shots?
much appreciated!

Hi Shripathi,
The longer stroke to start with will add more consistency to the stroke. The shorter stoke will be better once you are more advanced.

Slow to Fast Progression
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
