V-Griper and NextLevel, I didn't see your comments when I was replying to Blahness, but you're both basically confirming what I was thinking.
V-Griper I used to have a backhand smash based on the disc golf throw. It hasn't come out for a while in a match, but very interesting that you mention it and embedded that video. Oddly since I got involved in disc golf and table tennis, I can throw things like a tennis ball for example much faster using the same whip principle.

I think you're on the right track with this. All the top players use a rather full stroke against backspin, even Kenta Matsudaira and Kishikawa. ZJK, if you watch his matches, has an extremely short stroke against topspin. He only unleashes his full stroke against backspin balls where he has plenty of time. Against topspin you won't have time to fully engage the core/legs unless you're away from the table. The emphasis would be more on the arms and the wrist. Against backspin is where you should be focusing on a fuller stroke with your legs, shoulder and waist added in. However, it is very hard to develop a great strong BH against backspin without engaging the core/legs, which is why I felt you need to incorporate it soon to avoid developing "arm-only" habits when dealing with backspin. If that was topspin it would be fine. On the other hand, you should continue practising your short BH strokes (against topspin balls at varying locations so that you learn how to move to the ball) Great work! |
