Alois sir can Harimoto backhand technique be used to return serves like backhand serve or pendulum serve?

Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago

Hi Aditya,

Yes it can if the ball is long or high enough.

You will notice he uses a version of his backhand on a a lot of his returns, using his wrist well to generate the spin and lift on the ball to get an effective topspin.
