Hi,
I'm an offensive player but recently already assembled a racket with long pips in my backhand. I'm actually giving people a lot of trouble and beating good players (I'm playing tier II in national tournaments).
The style of play I'm looking is to slow the game down with my backhand, chopping far from the table (of course attacking high short balls and sometimes chop blocking closer to table), and attack with my forehand given the opportunity (that's my forte).
I'm really enjoying so far, but I feel my chops could be with far more backspin. One thing my coach suggested is to try contacting the ball closer to the edge of the blade, but I find it very hard to change the contact point as this is something very automatic at this point.
Second thing I considered is using the wrist more, but from videos I don't see the wrist used heavily and it really hurts the consistency for me.
I couldn't find any good videos/guides/tips for this style of play (role model is someone like Chen Weixing I guess)
My blade is kong linghui euro, FH: tenergy 05 BH: tibhar grass d.tecs
Would appreciate any tips!
Thanks
