Greetings coach. I want to ask you about the backhand topspin follow through. I am not able to hit my backhand topspin fluently due to my wrong follow through. Whenever i hit a backhand topspin it either rushes to the net or goes out of the table. Can you tell me what is the correct backhand topspin follow through using which i can hit a fluent backhand topspin?

Thank you.

Hi Jack,

There are a few ways to think about the finish position for the topspin.  One is to think of your arm being a ramp at the end of the stroke.

Another way is to make sure that your bat goes past your elbow in the swing.  You can also pick out a spot on the roof that you can get your hand to move towards at the end of your swing.
