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.
