Wang Hao backhand
Strokes
Sam Evans Asked 13 years ago
Hi
When watching the 2012 Olympics I noticed that Wang Hao was adding a flick to his backhand to generate more spin. Would this work well for a shake hand player? If so how should I execute it?
Please attach a video

Hi Sam,
This would also work for a shakehand player. It is good to keep your hand relaxed so that your wrist works through its full range of movement and flicks through at the end. This will give you more speed and spin.
