Backhand slow Topspin with bat paralell to floor

Dear Coach,

At 2.10 mins , Andrew will drop his bat paralell to floor as his starting point.

Is that necessary, as we have to then twist and rotate the racket on our way up whilst brushing.

I believe he starts : paralell to floor , twist anticlockwise ( towards him) ; move up and brush from middle to tip of racket.  That's the only way to make it work. 

This looks very hard and we may not have enough time during a match.

Please guide us on start postion and brush postion etc.

Hi Rama,

He gets more wrist action doing it this way.  To start with it is best to keep your angle  more open with the bat facing forward to keep it as simple as possible.
