Womens Backhand Drive
Strokes
Frank Lucas Asked 7 years ago
In womens matches i see what looks to be a flat hit, but it's low and they generate a lot of power off a very compact swing.
What type of shot is this and is it useful to learn?

Hi Frank,
They are playing a fast close to the table topspin with a short swing. They tend to hit the ball a little flatter than the men in general but still generating spin by brushing the ball very fast.
It can be a useful shot for anyone when you are playing closer to the table.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
