Hey Gabriel, your technique actually looks pretty good to me, I would say the main thing for now is trying to stay relaxed and also contact the ball close to your body and make sure you are not reaching too far out in front when you hit each shot.  Also keeping a little more bend in the elbow at the end of the shot will help keep it more compact and help you recover much quicker and be in position for the next ball. But these are small details, the overall shot is looking nice!

Yes so the think Is with this movement i can Not produce good Speed and also Spin. Because If i add Bodyweight Transfer even a little in my Backhand topspin IT seems Like my stroke Is getting to Long. Because of this i do now a Backhand topspin with late whipping Motion and my stroke got shorter its really now better for Close to table Play and also generally better for Speed and Spin Generation i will send you the Video soon
