Answer for Backhand video

Hi Dan,
I actually think overall your backhand stroke is not bad at all, your getting a good use of the wrist and nice contact on the ball. Something to be aware of is your follow through of your shot, sometimes the follow through looks slightly long and across your body rather than compact and finishing the stroke in front of you which will help your control and direction.
One small point is keeping your body weight forward and nice and low, as you strike the ball you are in a good body position but occasionally as you play the stroke you finish slightly upright which can cause you to lift the ball up and miss-time it. My feeling is the overall technique of your stroke with a few small tweaks can become a shot you are much more confident with, when practicing this shot focus on the follow through as I mentioned above but also concentrate on keeping the bat high and not dropping it in between shots, this will allow you to recover quickly and also get over the ball to generate topspin.
Hope that’s helpful Dan!
