Backhand analysis

Submitted by Brady on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 20:51.

Stage: expert

Stage Characteristics in this video: The participant tracks the ball, prepares to hit by pointing his forward shoulder toward his target, steps forward and impacts the ball just before it reaches his front leg, and follows through high.

What to Change: Nothing, if he regularly has this proper form I'd only say he should take a more aggressive swing at the ball.

Cue: don't make it easy on the opposition, hit the ball more firmly
