Hi Milan,

If you are trying to hit the backhand hard, then work on the speed of your racket.  You need to make sure that the ball is high enough to make the smash.  The Backhand smash is a shot that really isn;t used much.  If the ball is high enough to smash it will usually give you enough time to step around and use your forehand which is more reliable.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
