Hi Dola,
To improve your backhand you need to work on your technique. Watch our videos on the Backhand Counterhit, the Backhand Topspin Against Block and the Backhand Topspin Off Backspin.
As for the backhand smash, it is a very difficult shot because of the height of the ball. Once the ball is up around head height it's hard to get your arm high enough to control the ball. You are better off moving around and playing a forehand smash. If the ball is high enough to smash then you will have time to move around.

Backhand Topspin Against Block
We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:
- Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.
- Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.
- 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.
