backhand

Hi, I would like to ask what muscle is the responsible of having the arm in a backhand blocking position (elbow a little to the side and in front) (might be the traps?) I have realized if I train 2 consecutive days my shoulder gets sore if I'm in that position for more than 30s. So yeah, what...

When I started playing TT, I got told that forehand and fast feet was the only thing I needed, so I did not learnt backhand correctly in the first 2 years. Then I realised that advice was wrong, specially looking at modern TT games, and starting learning how to attack on BH. But after talking...

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a dedicated post about Tenergy 19. There are some comparisons out there, but not many proper reviews, so hopefully this can help people who are curious about this rubber. Released in 2021, after the Dignics series, Tenergy 19 came out during lockdown. At that...

Hi everyone! I am glueing on new rubbers and I was looking at my old BH rubber. My backhand topspin-topspin shots are probably my weakest area of play and it came to my mind if I should change my contact point to get some more spin and with that more curve=stability. Here is how my contact...

Hi everyone! I've recently decided to play as a long pips chopper and would love it if some knowledgeable choppers could recommend some equipment and give some playing tips. I made the decision to play long pips because my university team recently lost to an all-chopper team in a tournament. I...

Hi guys! Is Donic Bluefire M1 Turbo a good rubber for BH? I use FZD alc with T05H in FH and I want to know if donic bluefire M1 turbo is good for BH, which I mainly use to block, do BH punches and do counters. And sometimes I lift backspin, buy mainly block. Thanks for your time guys.

Hello everyone. In the past few days, I've noticed that with a change in my technique and/or grip, the dwell time on my backhand varies by a large margin. Usually, when performing backhand, the racket is very loose in my hand until the moment of contact, when I snap my wrist and use my thumb...

hi all, would appricate any tips on this. I've got some decent quality on some shots - but don't have proper training with a coach. Assuming both players are right-handed : If someone attacks my backhand - my natural movement is to return the ball to the middle or to his backhand. This comes...

Currently playing with K3 on backhand and mxp on forehand on a timo boll alc. I enjoy the mxp, it's nice on fh, but the bh rubber is kind of eh. It's good in the beginning for a couple of weeks but the feeling completely changes. I've had this one for two months and it feels fully dead and hard...

Hi everyone, I'm searching for my new BH rubber. I would like this rubber to be one of the Vega series, by Xiom. I will be using Vega Pro or Vega Tour on my FH. On my BH, I like to loop and block, close to the table. My blade is OFF   Do you guys have some recommendations ? Maybe Vega Europe...

Hello everyone! I am a FH loop oriented intermediate player. For my BH, I rely mostly on drives/blocks and am very (too) comfortable pushing. I have an okay BH loop against underspin but I barely use it; am looking to start focusing on it. Unrated but given the players I beat, I should be...

Hello! Recently, I found out this "Pistol Grip" and I want to buy one of these for my friends. What're your opinions on it? How much do these blades cost?

Hi, I play Jpen SP. I am wondering how to do the backhand stroke and the backhand punch. How do you do it?

I am a Jpen player, and I play short pips. I want to ask as to how you backhand punch properly???

Any recommendation yinhe rubber for backhand?

My setup: Yinhe Pro 01 (happy as of yet but looking to switch to Viscaria or similar soon), FH: H3 Neo Blue Provincial 40 2.15 boosted, BH: Rakza Z max thickness. I am a spin-based player and like to put on either topspin or backspin on everything. Compared to my loops and pushes, I struggle a...

Hi Guys, I am a double sided looper and play an aggressive spin game with inverted rubbers. However, I really struggle returning very heavy topspin balls to my backhand, both short and long. I try to brush over the top, but I find that many balls go long despite my best efforts, or they are...

Being a very much forehand oriented player i think it's time i develop my backhand. My level is intermidiate. - I try to loop kill slow underspin balls over the table and also attack every half long ball with the beauty that 09c is. Now comes the question what kind of backhand i want and i am...
