How to play backhand when the ball comes to my end line?

Hi Varun,

There are a few things that you can do.

The first option is to just push the ball back.

Secondly, you can move back a small step and make a topspin stroke.

Thirdly if you don't have time to move back you can make a short topspin stroke.  Just by using your forearm in a quick upward motion you will be able to lift the ball over the net.

Try these 3 options out and see which works best for you and against each opponent.  If your opponent is a good attacker, you probably need to try to make the topspin.  If they are a more passive player then a good push may be good enough to keep you in the point.
