anything fast to my elbow.

If I am slow for the step around and dont get the quality on fh ts, I get burned on the FH side.
If I use a safe backhand counter, opponent will attack.
If I use bh ts, hard to control the speed, need to close racket angle just right, and might hit edge.

Solution: good anticipation and fast footwork.
Problem: too fat and slow lol

There are 2 that particularly give me problems. The long fast slice to my BH corner and the long fast heavy sidespin, also to BH. Getting them back with any quality I find difficult...

Hmm, short reverse pendulum to my fh side as well as floating underspin to my bh side usually gives me the most trouble.

Same as well, underspin + side reverse serve on fh makes my wrist most awkward position.

Slow no spin serves in the middle of the table. What the hell am I suposed to do with that!? hahaha

I guess Harimoto flicks šŸ˜… (I wish I can do too)

Right right, I also tend to receive late with weak backhand :D

Yes, oftenly I react late to fast underspin and don’t have a time to make enough backswing on BH

all forms of no toss and hidden serves!

I need more proactive referees, otherwise hard to warn against more senior opponents.
