Backhand Attack
Strokes
Luis Nascimento Asked 13 years ago
Hi Coach, I am 14 years old an I love to play table tennis. I learned basically everything I know today on school, playing with my friends, about 3 years ago.
Now, I want to improve my skills and your site seems to be very good.
My question is about attacking with the backhand, I found it very difficult to control the strength I hit the ball, sometimes it goes on the net, others out of the table.
Thank you, keep the good videos :)

Hi Luis,
I am glad that you are enjoying the lessons.
Firstly make sure your stroke is correct. Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Counterhit and the Backhand Topspin Against Block. You will notice the start and finish positions are the key things to focus on here. If you can get these correct and controlled you will start to develop more consistency with your stroke.

Forehand Block
The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.
