Hi guys.
After I got the hang out of forehand attacking I work on my backhand since some time.
First when I was try out things by myself I noticed my loop/topspin is consistent and powerful if I lock up my elbow fully. I feel with locking up I get a more flatter bat-angle thus more topspin. Because it doesn't feel natural the try and error was going on.
Lately our best player and coach teached me the backhand stroke. It was similar to the one I found out as written below. The key point for me is to push the elbow as much forward as possible. Even without using the wrist the stroke is really good (consistent and powerful) but still very unnatural. Here again I think the flatter angle makes the deal work.
Even more lately I am trying to play more relaxed with a loose grip. I think a lose grip will be a milestone in my progress. My forehand is improving alot lately esp. In consistency.
Sadly for backhand if I play loosely and in a natural way this result in a more leanbacked elbow and not fully stretched like written before. With this stroke most balls go mostly over the table. I guess because again the angle is too steep.
EQ wise it doesn't matter so I guess I have to fix my technique.
I would like to hear your opinion about this. For me a natural and relaxed stroke execution should be the best in TT which kinda works for my FH but not for my current BH. Tell me please your key point u think mostly of by doing the BH topspin stroke.
