Answer for Opponent Plays in short and half Long ball to Backhand slow and Low or medium height

Hey Gabriel, yeah these shots can be difficult for sure. We have a video here which will help on the half long backhand shots: 


 
But sometimes on these shots when it’s very difficult it’s actually better to just play a good quality push back rather than trying to open up and attack but playing a weak shot. So it’s also about shot selection, if you feel it’s half long but you can still play a decent attack that’s great but if not then try to play an aggressive push back to the opponent and then either force them to open up or they may even push back and you get a chance to attack the next ball. Hope this helps. Cheers, Tom
