Hi Amir,

Start by learning the basic backhand counterhit.  Hit this many times till you feel confident.  Take a look at how you have your body wen you are hitting these backhands.  You need to be quite straight to the table.  You will probably find that in a game at the moment you turn a lot to favour your forehand side.  Try to resist this and allow yourself to hit some backhands.

Learn from the Lessons on the Backhand Counterhit and Backhand Topspin.

Often the way we stand will determine whether we like backhands or forehands.
