Strokes
Hi Alois and Jeff,
My question is how to play topspin strokes, especially backhand while being a kid. I am 10.5 years old and 5 feet to be precise but often My backhand counterhit or flick is hitting the net so what to do in this position.
Love your videos. Give a response quick.

Hi Saifullah,
The backhand can be more difficult when you are shorter. Think about moving behind the ball and takin git a little earlier off the table before it bounces too high. Once the ball bounces high it becomes difficult to control. If you can't get it early, then wait till the ball drops lower again to hit the ball.
Question actions
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
