Hi Alois,

I have been recently struggling in executing the reverse backhand effectively while playing. Do you have any advice?

Hi Kabeer,

One of the main things is to get the angle of the racket correct.  Focus on this first off the table by looking at your grip to get this angle.  Then hit the ball and see if the ball is going straight.

We have a tutorial that may help as well. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.
