Rishav Sinha Asked 10 years ago
I am a right handed player.whenever my opponent plays the ball to my extreme right fast (even little) i am not able to make a decent return with my backhand.and if i get that ball at my chest height i face even greater problem.how to deal with this?

Hi Rishav,
Make sure you are taking a small step to the get behind the ball. As a guide, if you let the ball go, it should hit you in the stomach. Trying to play a backhand from outside the line of your body is difficult.
If the ball is bouncing high, you can move in closer to the table and take it earlier off the bounce before it gets too high or move back and wait for it to come down.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
