Backhand topspin wrist
Strokes

hi alois
i am confused about my backhand top spin
i don't know whether i should relax my rest and arm completely and depend on the speed when contacting the ball or keep the tension in my arm and rest and depending on the strength and the limited speed during the contact and both seem working but with different balls (high , low , topspin , no spin , backspin )
And from what i saw there are players using the first way and there are players using the other
and i want to thank you and jeff for this amazing effort that made me and lots of people love table tennis.

Hi Mohamed,
When you are learning a stroke you don't need to use too much of your wrist. This will help you to learn the stroke and gain consistency. As you progress you can relax the wrist more and allow it to come through with your strokes. This will increase the speed and spin on the ball.
It is important though to start with that you keep things simple. It is the best way to learn the stroke.
