Backhand Topspin - eBaTT table tennis Tutorial P2 July '19 (Development tips to enhance your backhand topspin)
The Exercise:
Develop more spin and kick on your backhand topspin stroke. You can
practice some of the tips by yourself and the other elements with sparring partners or a coach.
Tip 1: Ball and bat and location of contact, to develop this you can use various methods, 1 focus on feeling the ball connecting with the bat. 2. buy a new box of balls and leave the powder on the balls, to allow yourself visual analysis after a few backhand topspins (youll see the marks on the rubber).
Tip 2. Rotating the wrist to inject more speed and spin, this needs to be implemented by holding your forehand (restricting movement) and using the wrist only. Initially this is to develop wrist movement and technique, alongside the motion required, then you can go back to using both your forearm and wrist together.
tip 3. Relaxed arm too firm but not stiff or tense throughout the motion. throwing a card or frisbee is a great tool to use.
The Aim:
Produce spin, speed, and control over time.
