Hi Martin,

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Backhand Topspin Against Block.  This will also show you that Jeff finishes in the same 'muscle' position.  It is a good way of thinking about the finish position for the backhand topspin.

Yes, but I think that the fact that SImon wasn't able to return it shows how good the shot was.

Shades of Smythe circa 1995. And yes most of the time his unpredictability was based on having one eye closed. Great post guys.
