Answer for backhand-drive-from-a-distance-follow-up

Hi Alex, 
Yes back from the table it’s more difficult to genera power and also be accurate with your shots but using the body trunk and wrist are both key elements that you said above here. I definitely feel using the forearm and wrist together is they way to go. I have worked on this a lot myself to generate spin and power on the backhand but by using the forearm well it can remain stable and consistent. It’s just making sure to release the wrist and accelerate at the right point, just before the contact to get maximum quality.
I also feel with this higher elbow position once you get used to it you will feel solid with the shot long term and give you a lot of confidence, this is what I have found withmy backhand recently. Keep up the work on this and I’m sire you will find generating the power isn’t too difficult with some practice.
