What are the advantages and disadvantages of table tennis backhand?

Advantages, changeable and flexible techniques.

Disadvantages, backhand is difficult.

The characteristic of backhand grip is that both forehand and backhand use the same racket face to hit the ball (sometimes backhand can also be used to hit the ball horizontally), and the forehand attack is fast and powerful. It's weaker than the horizontal shot, but it's convenient and flexible to apply.

When attacking the oblique straight ball, the racket face changes little, so it is difficult for the opponent to judge. Therefore, when using a pen, be quick!

Shallow grip racket

Hold the handle naturally with the middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The thumb is lightly attached to the middle finger on the front of the racket, the index finger naturally stretches and inclines to the back of the racket, and the tiger's mouth is slightly attached to the racket. The position between thumb and forefinger near the tiger's mouth should be adjusted according to the use of forehand and backhand. The tiger's mouth is biased towards the thumb, and the backhand is biased towards the index finger.

The shallow grip of the horizontal racket can be used flexibly because the grip is loose. There are many ways to handle the ball on the table, such as rubbing, skimming, pulling, twisting and bouncing. After leaving the stage, the forehand and backhand are mainly pulling the ball, which is mostly used to play double-sided loop ball. Because the shallow grip is easier to use, it is necessary to keep the shape of the wrist when hitting the ball, otherwise it is not easy to exert force when smashing or pulling the loop ball.

Hold the racket tightly

Deep grip and shallow grip are basically the same, except that the tiger's mouth is close to the racket. The best way to hold the racket deeply is to straighten the right hand, put the index finger and thumb horizontally, and put the racket between the index finger and thumb with the left hand, and hold the racket against the shoulder position, so that other fingers can hold the racket naturally. The position of index finger and thumb can be adjusted according to your own habits. The position of index finger off the shoulder is beneficial to backhand, and the position of index finger off the shoulder is beneficial to racket.
