Wrist on backhand

Ian Costello Asked 14 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.
