Answer for Help analyse my FH and BH topspin (video attached)

Hey Samy, I don’t think your ballerina moves loo bad at all, with some small changes I think you can build confidence with your backhand 🙂 I’m really impressed with your level after only having started earlier this year!

I think on both sides something that will help is trying to stay low and keep your weight forward which helps the balance and control, on the backhand side try to keep your left arm down and just hold it tot your side for balance, this will help stop the ballerina stuff going on ha! On the backhand in particular but with both sides, if you can try to stay loose with the arm and body and be a bit more relaxed it will help your recovery and movement a lot, right now sometimes the shots are a bit jerky and not smooth, you have a bit more time than you think so try to focus on a smooth and relaxed action because your technique is nice just needs to be more relaxed.

Lastly on backhand side try not to put your right foot in front, this makes recovery difficult and also had to then move across and play forehand. These are the main areas to focus on for now, but like I said I think your level is very impressive just playing for less than a year, it’s definitely an addictive sport! Keep up the good work and any other questions on this just let me know 🙂

Cheers, Tom
