That makes sense - I liked the touch of your backhand but I didn't feel threatened by it.
Yeah.
One of the I interesting things about my BH is that, for years, any time I worked on my FH, my BH just improved anyway. But I never worked on it.
At some point in July I realized that all of my BH shots were drives and that I wasn't really looping with it. I did a small amount of work to get the right contact to brush. And did not really think much about working on it. Then one day a friend who is one level higher than me but would be more if he actually practiced, said, "lets loop with backhand. You loop and I will block for about 5 min and then we switch. We will do it a few times."
I realized: "urm, I don't know how to do that!!!!!" He made me do it till I felt myself pulling past the ball. Instantly my ability to open vs backspin on the BH side got a bit better. A lot better than it was, really. But nowhere near as good as it should be.
But, in the last 5 years, that is the extent of how much I have worked on my BH.
In those match videos, I notice I drop my left arm when I hit BH. That shows the lack of training. I used to do that with FH and my left arm would just flop around. On FH my left arm is okay. Not how it use to be. Got to train that out of my BH.
The FH drop the wrist thing that we talked about, that is the last big (capital letters) thing I need to really fix on FH. The rest is small compared to that. But nonetheless present.
It is time to work on the BH because, even though it is better in a lot of ways than my FH, in other ways, it needs a bunch of work. [emoji2]
All that being said, I get what you mean about the CRANK. But I am not saying I have it. I just know what you mean.
