Hey Björn, sorry about the slow reply I missed this one! We’re happy to hear you have found the videos useful and helping you improve!
Yes the 3 step method video I think is a great way to help with these shots against backspin. I would also say it’s definitely worth practicing and improving this shot, because as soon as you can do it consistently and with confidence it takes your game to the ebxt level and you won’t get stuck in the pushing/Chopping rallies any more!
In the beginning many players find this shot hard, especially as it’s playing against the spin so you need to generate a lot of topspin on your shot.
The main areas to focus on for this I think are using the legs and body well and not only the arm to play the shot. The legs and body provide the base and the power to create spin and keep the arm relaxed. The next thing is just improving the contact on the ball to really develop a good brushing feeling and a light ticub across the ball but still keeping a good acceleration. Getting all these things together is not easy but with time and practice it will really help your game! Any other questions on this just let us know.
Dan 🙂
