Continue to work on it. Bend low and get under the ball, and try to get extra topspin so it is easier to get the ball over the net...

Make sure you are following thru properly with the correct form as well.

Try mixing it up with double handed then back to one handed. On will inevitably be stronger.

Answer 4

Throw your whole body into.

Answer 5

just keep practicing it, make sure u got the form down and then just keep hitting it until u feel youve mastered the shot.

Answer 6

I have always said that the backhand is one of the most difficult shots in the game. First start with the motion, keep your head down and on the ball and make sure you are making good contact on your strings. Once you feel comfortable with the stroke, then you can work on power. First work on your knees, get below the ball and then explode upward into the shot. This will help not only with more power but also with topspin. Your shots will become much deeper and that is always a good sign. Then shoulder rotation, make sure you are rotating into the ball, it will help a lot with power behind the shot. You do not have to swing hard, just put a lot of leg power into it, and make sure the swing is crisp. Power comes with time, keep at it.

Hope I helped!!

Answer 7

actually, the backhand is a more natural motion than the forehand, but you should concentrate on a few fundamentals.

what's different about the stroke, when compared to the forehand, is that you need to turn your feet and body more when setting up for the shot. before your follow through your back should be nearly facing the net.

as with every shot you'll need to bend your knees and follow through (transfering your weight forward) which helps generate the power and brings to ball back down into the court.
