Wrist on backhand
Strokes
Ian Costello Asked 13 years ago
Hi, I'm having trouble with my backhand topspin, because I don't know the proper wrist action, do you flick your wrists through the ball, our do you brush up on the ball, because the ball flys off the table when I do it! Please help! Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,
It is more of a forward motion, especially if the ball is going off the table. Let the wrist relax and flow forward.
