Wristy backhand
Strokes
Grenville Pereira Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff
I sometimes use the backhand with just a wrist action similar to the back hand side spin flick when the ball is half long and also from deep of the table as well.
I use the regular backhand when I play the shot slight away from the table and away.
Sometimes I find the wrist shot effective and sometimes difficult to control. What would you recommend for backhand of balls of different lengths. Is this technique fine.
Thanks
Regards
Grenville

Hi Grenville,
I think the wrist action is useful especially when you don’t have time to play a full stroke. When you have a bit more time, add the use of the forearm but certainly when the ball is on you quickly the wrist stroke works well.
