Backhand of Tomokazu Harimoto

Advanced Strokes

We examine Tomokazu Harimoto's incredible backhand technique. He uses a similar technique for returning serve, countering topspin, and attacking backspin. One of the keys to his success is how simple he keeps the stroke, it really never looks like missing. I must admit that filming this video was so much fun. Trying to hit the ball so sweetly makes you smile. When you get a chance get out on the table and start practising this stroke. Make sure you commit fully and really go for it. Good luck and have fun!
