Dear coach, I try to play proper backhand in my game. But i am confuse when should I play backhand counterhit or backhand flick? What is the function of backhand counterhit in game? Thanks, Best wishes, Somchai

Hi Somchai,
When the ball is short you can make the flick stroke. The counterhit is used more as a control shot in the rally. It isn't used very much as you would normally either block or topspin the ball.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
