Developing a more aggressive backhand
Strokes
Vaidotas Dambrauskas Asked 12 years ago
Hello Alois and Jeff!
I wish to develop a more aggressive backhand. Over the time i am playing table tennis, I have developed a solid forehand, but backhand is my worst part. I can hit nice pushes and blocks, but every time I try to hit faster the ball goes over the table. I've watched your lessons carefully but when it comes to practice, it is hard for me not to fail.

Hi Vaidotas,
If the ball is going off the end of the table you may not be getting enough topspin on the ball to get it to dip back down onto the table. It is hard to tell without seeing you play the shot.

Table tennis is fast, but rushing your shots is the biggest mistake we see. Hitting the ball too early throws off your timing, balance, and control. In this video, we show you how to play with better rhythm and stay calm under pressure.
