Hi Alois,

I have been recently struggling in executing the reverse backhand effectively while playing. Do you have any advice?

Hi Kabeer,

One of the main things is to get the angle of the racket correct.  Focus on this first off the table by looking at your grip to get this angle.  Then hit the ball and see if the ball is going straight.

We have a tutorial that may help as well. Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.

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.
