How to practice the table tennis backhand technique?

Backhand stroke must master the basic essentials of preparation, grasp the main contradiction after the change from frontal stroke to reverse stroke, and focus on controlling the shape of racket.

1, thumb tap. In order to control the shape of the racket, a certain forward angle is reached when hitting the ball with backhand and forehand. Ask the index finger to pat and the thumb to relax; However, if you hit the ball with the reverse side, the natural shape of the racket face is too forward, even parallel to the table, which will inevitably lead to the ball falling off the net or even missing the ball. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the pressure of the thumb on the left shoulder of the racket, and at the same time, the index finger is slightly relaxed and the middle finger leans against the racket. The included angle between the supporting surface and the table top is not less than 30, which is convenient for hitting the ball.

2. Bend your wrist and elbow. Wrist flexion is mainly to adjust the racket face direction, because the racket face direction of backhand stroke is easy to go too far to the right. After the wrist is bent, it can not only play a more accurate and powerful right-handed oblique ball, but also help to play a straight left-handed ball.

3. the center of gravity drops. This action has two functions: first, it can assist in controlling and adjusting the rake angle. Because it is difficult to lean forward when hitting the backhand, it is necessary to twist the wrist and raise the center of gravity at the same time, which makes it easier to exert strength and maintain the shape of the racket. On the other hand, backhand stroke is just the opposite, and the racket face is too forward. It is necessary to lower the center of gravity while pressing down the thumb and pronating the wrist, so that the racket shape can be just right.
