Placing a backhand counterhit square of the table
Strokes
Mayank Sharma Asked 11 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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
