Backhand topspin drive in 3 steps. 🔥
Summary
Universal Rackets breaks the backhand topspin drive into three steps. Step one: drop the paddle tip below the ball. If you start level with the ball, you’ll come over the top and hit it into the net.
Step two: swing low to high and brush the back of the ball like you’re painting a wall, going from six o’clock to twelve. Step three: finish at your shoulder. A high finish makes the ball dip in; a low finish makes it sail.
Key takeaways
- Start with the paddle tip below the ball
- Brush up the back of the ball from six to twelve o’clock
- Finish high at your shoulder
- High finish dips, low finish sails
Action items
- Shadow the three steps ten times before hitting
- Drop-feed yourself backhand drives focusing only on the high finish
- Watch where your misses go: net means start lower, long means finish higher
