We are now going to have a look at the Backhand Topspin against Backspin. So Jeff here is demonstrating the swing for the backhand topspin against the backspin. So you will notice the back goes down and starts right below table hard and finishes up above his eye level. That will help you to generate more of a vertical swing to lift the ball up and over the net. You will notice that Jeff's feet position is quite square on to where he wants the ball to go.
So if he is facing towards me, now - okay, that is the way he will want the ball to go. If Jeff wants to hit the ball down the line, you will notice that he will just turn his position a little bit so that he is facing down the line. Now I am going to feed Jeff some backspin multiple and let's have a look at how Jeff copes with these.
Now I am going to generate some more backspin to Jeff and you will notice that his stroke becomes more vertical. Again, to lift the ball up over the net. From the side on position you will notice the low start and the high finish. So against the backspin, the stroke becomes quite in vertical rather than coming forward. This is to begin to lift the ball over the net. The natural tendency of the backspin is to drag the ball down into the net. So you need to lift the ball up and over by using the vertical brushing stroke.
From behind, you can notice Jeff's feet position is very square on to where he wants the ball to go and again, the start position is nice and low and the finish position is high. You can see from the back as well here that Jeff just tuns his body a little bit. With the backspin you do have a little bit more time to be able to turn your shoulders a little bit more. The faster that Jeff wants to hit the ball the more he will turn and you will see that he will start to hit the ball from a little bit offside to lift it.
