Backhand development
Strokes
Abhiram Reddy Asked 11 years ago
To add offensive to my backhand , I initially set out to learn the side-spin flick. Most of the times I am unable to put side-spin on the ball and simply flat hit it (plain flick).But when I do succeed with the stroke I get better results. Which stroke should i pursue first? Or can I try learning both together?
The end result I want is to bring proficiency to my backhand in general including having a confident BH topspin off any ball. What is the order of strokes you suggest I start practicing? I can already block moderately well and do the counter-hit to some extent.

Hi Abhiram,
I would focus on the counter hit first, then the topspin, then the Flick. Then you can move on to the sidespin flick. It is a matter of getting the feel for the ball on the backhand side first.
