Backhand drive
Strokes
Rai Ping Asked 8 years ago
Dear Alios/Jeff,
For my backhand drive, my racket should make some 45 degree angle with the table in principle, but when I start playing, my racket (bat) faces upward making more than 90 degree angle. I tried my hardest to maintain this racket angle, but in vain. When I make this angle, the ball ends up hitting the net. I even watched a lot of YouTube videos about it, I could not help myself.
How can I fix this problem of racket angle?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rai,
Focus on the finish position of the racket that we show you. Think about the bat being in a position like you are taking a 'Selfie' with the forehand side of your bat. If you get it to there, you will get the racket at the right angle.
