Alois: Hi, I am Alois Rosario.
-
Jeff:And I am Jeff Plumb and we are from PingSkills.
-
And now, we are going to teach you the backhand counterhit.
-
Alois: So, let's have a look at Jeff playing the backhand counterhit.
-
There is three things that we need to consider with the backhand counterhit:...
-
The first one is the feet position.
-
You will notice that Jeffs' feet are facing towards where he wants the ball to go.
-
So, he is really square on and his body faces forward.
-
The second thing is the start position of his bat.
-
So, the bat is in front of his body facing towards where he wants the ball to go.
-
Then he comes through, hits the ball and his finish position...
-
is up and forward at shoulder height.
-
And, you will notice now that the forehand side of his bat...
-
faces towards the roof at the end of the shot.
-
So, now that Jeff is showing you the technique...
-
you can see that Jeff will be able to use the same technique...
-
to hit the ball slowly or fast.
-
All he does is he just moves his bat through the stroke faster,...
-
if he wants the ball to go faster.
-
And slower, if he wants the ball to go slower.
-
So, that is why it is really important to get a good technique with your strokes.
-
So, the main things to consider when learning the backhand counterhit:...
-
Firstly, starting with your feet.
-
If I want to the ball to go in that direction, that is where I am facing with my feet.
-
If I want the ball to go across court, then that is where I need to face with my feet.
-
The second part of the stroke that you need to consider is your start position.
-
Make sure that your bat is nice and flat, facing towards where you want the ball to go.
-
So, it needs to be in front of your belly and nice and flat.
-
And, the final part of the stroke is you need to hit the ball and follow through.
-
And, turn your bat over, so that now the forehand side of your bat is facing to the roof.
-
You need to finish up at around shoulder height.
-
So, some things that I see as common errors with the backhand:...
-
Firstly, a lot of players tend to change their grip.
-
So, they turn their bat around in their hand like that.
-
It is easier for backhand but it is going to be really difficult later for forehand.
-
That is why it is important to keep a nice central grip,...
-
so that you will be able to play both backhand and forehand with the same grip.
-
The second thing with the backhand that I often see...
-
is that players tend to push their right foot forward...
-
and play their backhands like this.
-
That is okay, again, if you are only playing backhands that works fine.
-
But when you are playing a game of table tennis, you have not got enough time to be doing...
-
backhands with your feet side-on this way and...
-
then turning all the way around
-
to play your forehand.
-
So, that is why you want to be nice a nd square on,...
-
facing towards where you want the ball to go.
-
And, the third thing that I see with backhands...
-
is that often players finish over on the left hand side of their body,...
-
instead of finishing over on the right hand side.
-
So, an easy way to fix that problem is to just make sure that...
-
you are waiting for the ball a little bit longer, wait for it and hit the ball closer to your body.
-
And then, you stroke will tend to come out the right way.
