Hi  Alios

I am Jacob Johnson 

I wanna ask u that how can I improve my backhand. My forehand is quite good but my backhand is really horrible and I often miss simple smashes using backhand 

Thanks

Hi Muhammad,

I think the most important thing to focus on is the technique of the stroke.  If you get the technique right you will start to be able to get more balls on the table and also then be able to increase the speed of your shots.

Take a look at our lessons on the Backhand CounterhitBackhand Topspin Against Block and Backhand Topspin Off Backspin.  Then see if you can copy the techniques and practice as much as you can.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
