How to play the backhand and forehand drop stroke?
Hi Hans,
Have a look at the video on Forehand pushing. It shows you how to do the short push as well. The principles for the backhandare the same.
The keys for the short push are to keep your hand relaxed and hit the ball early. The stroke is a short version of the push, just using your fingers and hand to guide the ball over.
Also look at the Blog on Short Pushing for the value of the short push.
In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
