Hello, I am very poor in my backhand. Could please suggest me a drill to improve? Feedback i received is i am using my wrist while playing backhand.

Thanks!

Hi Sriram,

I would take that advice and try to restrict the movement of your wrist initially.  You could even use a pice of tape around your wrist for a few minutes to give yourself feedback of what your wrist is doing during the stroke.  If you are using yoru wrist too much you will feel the pull on the tape.

According to Chinese,Persson and Kreanga training videos,the forearm and wrist should cooperate.
Alois also mentions this in some video,am I right Alois?
I have also tested this and I was able (I,a long pimpled backhand chopper) to develop a stable backhand drive and loop off block.
