Backhand wrist yes or no
Strokes
Alex Larson Asked 12 years ago
I went to a tournement some time ago and someone told me to use my wrist on every backhand shot but in Ecuador and here in Arkansas say almost never to use my wrist. So do I use my wrist or not?

Hi Alex,
When you are learning the stroke it is best to not use too much wrist and develop control with the stroke. As you advance you can start to use a little more wrist up to the stage where at the highest level you can use mainly wrist as this is faster and will generate more spin.
