BACKHAND TOPSPIN vs backspin (basic & advanced technique)

In this video I take an in-depth look at how to play a backhand topspin against a backspin ball.

This shot will allow you to attack your opponents backspin serve, push or chop.

In the video I show three different backhand topspin techniques - a basic method, a spin method and a speed method.

I explain the pros and cons of each method and give my views on which method is best.

Developing a good backhand topspin will help you raise your game to the next level. Try out my methods and see which works best for you.

And thanks to Eli Baraty and Daniel Hearne-Potton for showing off their backhand topspin skills!

Thanks, Tom. It was very helpful to distinguish the options for this shot. This was the best explanation of a difficult shot that I have seen.

Thanks Tom. Definitely the best backhand video have watched so far. Am guessing the same principle applies to the forehand loop.

Thanks coach. It is really useful and very clear demonstration and detailed enough for all. Thanks a lot

Table Tennis looks very much like a physics lesson - speed, angle, spin, bounce, friction, etc. and anatomy lesson - body posture, movement, etc. I am just a newbie, but thanks to this channel it clarifies many things up. I really love the slow and through explanations. Keep up the good work!
