Trouble with Backhands
Strokes
Donovan Muller Asked 12 years ago
Hi!
I am a growing table tennis player, and I have a fairly decent and consistent forehand shot. My trouble and weakness is my backhand. I cannot seem to get a decent contact 10 times out of 10, let alone get much topspin or any other spin on it. Sometimes I get an awesome backhand shot, but roughly 6 times out of 10 I cannot make a decent shot, only a soft one. Please help :)
