How to Play a Table Tennis Backhand Drive - Stage 2 Speed
Written by ace.
Intermediate level: How to generate pace Part 2 of a 4 part series: Jim Clegg a Level 4 Coach with the English Table Tennis Association and Head Coach of the Preston Table Tennis Association explains and demonstrates how you play a backhand drive.
Very good tutorial! Also, a good way to practice is have someone feed you balls continuously, that way you get to practice your smashes and your friend gets to practice his/her blocks! It works for me. : D
You are right, but this video is only part two of a four part series, for example part 3 looks at the more advanced technique of using the wrist.
ur backhand maybe good for beginners…
You are my hero now! wow! seriously! 5/5
hi arneljoseph21, the only video so far talking about spin is the “stage 3″ of this backhand series which looks at using the wrist to generate topspin.
thanks
very nice one,ill try to watch all your videos here so that i can get more knowledge bout TT..
do u have videos bout spinning..??
yes,,,,good….thanx
i disagree. videos are a great tool for modeling your strokes. provided you have a computer, a full length mirror, and the discipline to perform “shadow strokes” you can improve mechanics drastically.
in this sport look a video doesn´t help you have to play a lot of time and have talent , this is not playing carts, look my videos and th we talk about this…
i love the way you talk, excellent explanation. You are voluble as well, a pleasure to listen to.
Thanks for the compliment Echschmet but these are meant as a stepping stone for players. Hard work, good coaching, mental application and a bit of luck would help.
i think everbody can become a table tennis pro when he wath your videos…
when i play i bate the ball of the the other person ha up ireland lol good tips
great video! thanks…i’m just a begginer in this game…this vid is very helpful to me…thanks..
Thanks for the video rated 5
yeah pinarello001 is too sensitive!
He must have failed to understand this is for
INTERMEDIATE players!
Not Circuit players
Detailed response from Jim Clegg forwarded direct to pinarello001.
For the record your comment about Jim being amused by the failure of the receiver to return the ball is inaccurate. Jim was pleased because he’d demonstrated the shot he was describing not because the other player couldn’t return it. It is not easy to be filmed coaching, talking, playing and demonstrating all at the same time.
There seems to be a common thread of over-simplification of what is theoretically the most technical game in the world. We have not got kids beyond the age of 18 into senior ranks because we fail to provide them with the technical confidence required. The modern game is so fast and so dynamic that we cannot teach kids this way. Where is the fun in this delivery? Why was he amused by the failure of the receiver’s struggle to deal with what is essentially a medium paced ball with little top-spin?
Response from Jim to follow.
‘Amazing speed’ - who are you kidding?
Where is the top-spin? He’s far too rigid.
Its much more importatnt to get young players loose with their actions and then get control and consistency with time. It is extraordinarily difficult to take a player who is too rigid and try to get them to loosen up - you must start from the beginning. Look at Tisch-Tennis DVD with Christain Suss and the way beginners are introduced to forehand topspin kneeling on the floor, same with backhand.
The best free table tennis videos I’ve found so far not just in youtube but anywhere else.

I recently started table tennis and i will incorporate these techniques regarding posture and speed in my play to improve my game.Excellent description and very easy to follow.
Nederlander kan je merken aan het accent of het is gwn amerikaans

I have been labeled as a table tennis pro now for 3 years, i have played in world wide tournaments, i have never won, but i have won states 5x. I found these videos to be the BEST free videos on the internet. I highly recommend these videos to new players, and experienced players alike .
