BACKHAND TOPSPIN Mid-Rally | eBaTT - TUTORIAL #37

While Eli is away coaching in Goa India, I took the opportunity to develop a video on the backhand topspin.

Tip 1: Technique

You need to try your best to use your whole arm in harmony, this means using a little shoulder, forearm, and wrist and they should work in synch. And if you only wrist means you won't generate the energy and power and if you don't use your wrist and, only your forearm you will not generate lots of spin.

Tip 2. Training off the table
A great tool to use and can be fun to practice by yourself or with friends is using a credit card. This is a great tool to develop your technique and it's like throwing a frisbee. Another motion that you can practice is bouncing the ball just in front of you as seen in the video. This will aid you to focus on technique and you can self analyse the movement and stroke. Try your best to rotate the wrist to inject more speed and spin,

Tip 3. Timing and when to hit the ball:
Difficult to give a straight answer for this because it all depends on what kind of ball you're receiving. try to focus on good positioning this is around one arm and one bat away from the table at a 45-degree angle. Then you want to do your best to hit the ball at around the top of the bounce. This point often will allow you to generate maximum power, spin and give you leeway for potential errors. Relaxed arm and firm up a little before the point of contact its an art form and takes time to learn the motion. Throwing a card or frisbee is a great tool to use.

The Aim:
Produce spin, speed, control, and consistency over time.
