pingskills - when would you say hitting the backhand is best, peak of bounce, cos it seems to me jeff is hitting them reasonably late peak, which is what i do, in fact to start a backhand rally for training i hit the ball at table height until ive got my eye in, but i do take it quite late, what do you suggest? great videos too :)

[pingskills]

It is a compromise. If you take it later you have more time but if you take it earlier you give your opponent less time. The peak of the bounce is a good place to hit it if you can.

If you've got more questions about this try the ask the coach section of our website as we have more room to answer questions there than here in the comments.

the most difficult is timing. if you take it too early it will get unwanted deformation or if you take it too late it wil be hard for your shoulder to pick the ball up.

[pingskills]

Yes timing is important.

[mogiedon85]

i think finish position is key! the "flip" up vertical is crucial to this

[pingskills]

Yeah getting the finish position right is important.

[pingskills]

Good luck improving your backhand!

[DjurdjevicB]

i think its very important to say, that without good movement and preparation with your legs and knees you cant do backhand at all. Backhand is my weak point but if you prepare yourself good enough(legs) you have much more chance to do it like you should... :)
