Technique and equipment are linked together.
Ma Longs technique works well with W968 and soft H3 on BH.
Assuming your equipment is the Cybershape carbon with D09c on the BH I would say the following:
While youre learning backhand, dont forget how powerful and effective your forehand is.
It shouldnt stop you from stepping around or using your forehand from time to time.
This is what you can do.
Watch the pros:
Pros you can watch to learn from their backhand: FZD, Ovtcharov, Zhang Jike.
There are more but there is a lot of matches from these 3 also from different angles.
While watching, specifically look for these things:
- What does their technique look like
- Focus on each body part they use for the different type of shots
- Footwork, preparation, body tension, weight shift, shoulders, forearm, wrist
- When they use their backhand in which situations
- How frequent they use their backhand
- How much upwards/forwards movement
- How they use their backhand against different types of opponents
- etc.
Technique step by step:
- Take things one aspect at a time, keep your focus mainly on that part
- Lets say: Forearm ( can be anything)
- practice alone first, without a table or ball
- take an extrinsic goal, meaning dont focus on your body but e.g. making a semicircle movement
- take it slow and focus on the one thing that you are working on at the moment
- imagine the scenario, how the ball is bouncing and coming at you and how you are using it
- sort of like multiball but just in your head in an empty space ( do this a lot)
- then implement in in training, also slowly and careful at first
- ideally multiball or where your partner is playing balls in a certain way
- then in drills, combine it with other movements and forehand for example
- practice matches where you try to implement it
- keep practicing and working, repeat for the different feature
Keep practicing!
