Percy Lu's backhand
Strokes and Technique
Martin Coronel Asked 12 years ago
my friend and i were curious about his backhand stroke against simon gerada and we call it the "the muscle stroke"because you are like flexing your muscle.
how can you execute that move
please show me a video

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.

This wouldn't be had an amazing shot. If Simon would have returned it
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
Yes, but I think that the fact that SImon wasn't able to return it shows how good the shot was.
Aasim Showkat Posted 11 years ago
He just got confused....what type of stroke can be used to return it
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago
Probably a block with a bit of sidespin. It takes a lot of touch and class to be able to return a ball like that. You are right though, Simon was surprised by the shot.

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