Hi,

Have you taken a look at the Backhand Topspin and Backhand Topspin against Backspin Lessons as yet?  If you haven't, see if we cover what you are looking for.

Good luck with those backhands.

Hi, The key is to keep this stroke simple. The swing is on one plane. The start position is lower than the contact point, your contact is a brushing action. This is important to generate the topspin and lift the ball over the net. The follow through is in a straight path. Watch some video of the better players playing this stroke and see if that helps also.
