Table Tennis Coaching Backhand Topspin Against Block by ttEDGE

http://www.ttEDGE.com Intermediate level video (I2). The backhand topspin against block is one of my favourite shots and where I win a lot of my points. This video is from the subscription area of ttedge.com and will give you tips and ideas about improving YOUR backhand topspin.

Possibly the most instructive backhand training video I've seen yet.

I imagine stroking even further forward would produce more power, si?

Thanks

@EDGQ1013 Hi, I'm not completely sure what you mean by stroking forward? Having the follow through going more forwards?

[EDGQ1013]

@tabletennisedge By stroking further forward I mean a slightly more lunging effort in the

direction of your intended precise target on the other side. It would probably

result in your right shoulder pointed more forward in that same direction

at the final phase of the stroke, rather than it remaining stationary

and EVEN with the other shoulder or square to the table. Might that not

give more forward uumph! to the ball?

[tabletennisedge]

@EDGQ1013 You are correct and this is something you should do when the ball is coming slowly and is falling quickly by the time it gets to you. In those situations you want to have more forwards momentum to help time your shot which cold also involve taking a step forwards. You would usually not have time to do this in normal speed rallies.

You have to be so flexible and ready to vary your shot depending on what's coming towards you. I believe the wristier technique better allows for this.

though my english isn't good, I could understand most of your explaination. thanks dude! support ttEDGE from south korea :-)

@nsofast I've never even considered that would be a problem for anyone nsofast so thanks for pointing it out. I would recommend pointing the kid in the direction of some international level matches and saying "see".

could a similar technique also be applied to the Reverse Penhold Backhand?

[MrTinykin]

@anvimi It's a technique. The fundamentals are there. Liam Pitchford's style is just that, a different style. Choose the one that you prefer. I watched William in live matches many times and his BH was rarely in trouble even against players far higher ranked.

@tedbratton

I know that,

you know that,

but the way I got to your page was some kid saying "see ? its perfectly fine to serve out of your hand"

[tedbratton]

@nsofast he is not actually serving here, but merely starting the rally in a practical way. Warming up hitting or blocking properly is best started in this way: a medium-fast "serve" with a very small amount of topspin.
