Like they say, the arm movement should be shorter and ending with the racket in front of you, not to your left side.
Your body weight should be lower, you need to bend more the knees.


assam, your thoughts are good and I agree. I'd like them even more if the spin-up from the opponent was lower and faster. I believe there is a place for NextLevel's shot off an easy ball, which was the point of this video. The Chinese use a similar technique when given the chance.

Cheers,
Brett

In your movement, you mostly use your arm movement, you shoud try to train it slower with mor rotation of knees, waist, shoulder and wrist.
For what I see, probably the rubber you use isn't the best for you, at least for the technique showed.
You've already played with tenergy05, I think it woul would be better (or even a softer rubber, like Evo FX-P). You can also generate a lot of spin with them.

I think there is a difference between counter hit and counter bash back

I agree GeneralSpecific. Leaning forward changes the angle of the bat and the trajectory of the swing which really helps when counterspinning. The standard mistake is to stand upright and swing shallow, as per NextLevel's shadow swings in the video.

The second shot is much more typical than the first. And a counterspin is generally new FH territory for me.

This is good and I like the analysis. One thing I notice is that most people ghost a very different shot than they actually do so that is not a big deal to me. In general I actually think you have got the stroke down so if you are missing a high percentage of them I would look to to another cause. Also that might be a cherry picked example as you play Shay all the time and are cued into his strokes and timing. Maybe some examples against players you are not as familiar with would yield a better perspective.

So the question is why did you miss the the second shot?

This will be a series of videos critiquing the shots of TTEdge members who have shots that Brett wants to analyze and correct.

Please feel free to compliment or rip apart my technique - this is the one shot in my game I need to get better.  As someone said on another thread, I have stagnated at 1950-2050 for the last eight months (just kidding) and need to fix this as one of my issues (the other issue, well, that will take a lifetime to fix).
