Placing a backhand counterhit square of the table
Strokes
Mayank Sharma Asked 12 years ago
Hi,
Thanks for providing such a wonderful place to guide and help my game improve.
I play a lot of backhand shots that I am able to learn through your guidance, but I am able to play it mostly diagonally. I saw your videos regarding playing a backhand counterhit but am unable to play it square of the table.
Please suggest me some way with which I can improve my strokeplay.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mayank,
To get the ball down the line, try just hitting it a little later or turning your wrist slightly to change the angle. It doesn’t take much to change the direction.
