Backhand down the line
Strokes
Vadin Flores Asked 14 years ago
Hello,
I am able to consistently hit my backhand with good pace and spin, but for some reason I can only hit it to the middle of the table or to the opposite corner. When I try to hit the backhand down the line, it feels awkward and the results are not good.
When i first play someone, I usually win a lot of points with the back hand, but after an opponent plays a couple of games against me they adjust because they know where I am hitting it. Can you please give some suggestions about how I can effectively hit my backhand down the line?
Thanks

Hi Vadin,
The backhand down the line requires only a little adjustment. Use your fingers and wrist only to change the direction. You can also just hit the ball a fraction later.
Don't try to make drastic changes just subtle ones. Having a relaxed wrist will help with the changes.
