Backhand loop
Strokes
Abdullahi Nuur Asked 13 years ago
i have a lot of trouble doing backhand loops over 80% of the time they never hit the table half the time it hits the net and half the time it flies up into the sky. How am i meant to improve this so i can start to hit the table with my backhand loop consistently?

Hi Abdullahi,
Unfortunately, the only solution is practice. You need to make sure you have correct position to the ball. I find position is a really important part of backhand technique even more than with the forehand.
Then make sure you have the stroke correct. Watch the lesson on the Backhand Loop Off Backspin and then video yourself to see if your technique looks the same. then comes the many hours of repetitive training to get it feeling comfortable.
