Hi, I'm having trouble with my backhand topspin, because I don't know the proper wrist action, do you flick your wrists through the ball, our do you brush up on the ball, because the ball flys off the table when I do it    Please help!  Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

It is more of a forward motion, especially if the ball is going off the table.  Let the wrist relax and flow forward.

With that tip, I'm not just hitting it on the table, I'm hitting it faster!
