Hi Milan,

If you are trying to hit the backhand hard, then work on the speed of your racket.  You need to make sure that the ball is high enough to make the smash.  The Backhand smash is a shot that really isn;t used much.  If the ball is high enough to smash it will usually give you enough time to step around and use your forehand which is more reliable.
