When would you say hitting the backhand is best, peak of bounce, cos it seems to me jeff is hitting them reasonably late peak, which is what i do, in fact to start a backhand rally for training i hit the ball at table height until ive got my eye in, but i do take it quite late, what do you suggest? great videos too!

Hi Joe,

You can hit the ball at various points depending on what you want to do.  The peak is the best spot to hit it if you want to hit the ball fast.  If you are looking for a little more spin or variation of pace then hitting it later is also good.

Thanks for the kind words about the videos.

thanks alois, and like many others have said, its a great idea that such a player as yourself has taken the time out after your career to keep working and playing and finding these techniques and helping the world improve their game, so for that i really do thank you, so dont thank me, thank yourselves for putting in the effort/time and commitment to help others.i must stress that anyone reading this who isnt sure about pingskills, look no further, they have a vast range of coaching videos on just about anything, and if its not there, suggest it. keep up the good work you guys
