Hi Ardak,
Yes it is a real stroke. Jarryd use a short fast action to lift the ball over the net.

Jarryd ' s stroke seems very different from yours, isn't it? In your "backhand topspin against backspin " video stokes seems different?
Is it very important to have start position with very closed bat? I noticed it also from your video.
Is action by the following steps: start with closed bat, open the bat during the contact , then again close?

Try to keep your angle constant throughout when you are starting out. This will add to your consistency.

Hi coaches,
I wanted to ask "Is Jarryd's stroke correct?" (my English is not good)
It seems it is very different from your stroke in your "backhand topspin against backspin " video. Isn't it?

It is a good stroke. A little more vertical and recovers quickly to the base position.

Hi Ardak
It is not really different from Pingskils's "Backhand topspin against backspin".
If you download the video and play in slow motion, you will find that Jarryd is starting from racket below knee and ending the stroke above head. This same as what suggested by pingskills.
