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.

Slow to Fast Progression
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

With that tip, I'm not just hitting it on the table, I'm hitting it faster!
