How do I develop a good backhand?
Jeff Plumb Answered 12 years ago
Hi Shaant,
Start by watching our Backhand Counterhit and Backhand Topspin Against Block videos. Really focus on the feet position, the start position, and the finish position. If you can get these right the rest of the stroke will come together.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
