Hi Parakram,
The behind the back shot is an amazing shot isn't it and looks so spectacular.
This is not a shot that anyone practices to become a weapon. You are better to hit the ball with your backhand in general if it is in this position. It happens when you are caught out.
So get to practice the basic shots and get them even better than they are now. This would be better time spent on the table.
