Backhand Frisbee
Strokes
thomas mcnamara Asked 7 years ago
Hi Coach. Should I think of the backhand topspin as the same as a frisbee throw? I often rush or mistime the shot and only go forward with the wrist, so I don't have optimum spin and pace. You obviously wouldn't do that with a frisbee as it wouldn't go far without a proper backswing and wrist coil. So, is it correct to bend forward a bit and let the frisbee fly? Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
This is one way to look at the backhand stroke.
I use this technique with some players and it can work well.
