How to hit a faster backhand topspin

In this video I share two simple tips to help you hit faster backhand topspin attacks.
I demonstrate how to use your wrist to generate more acceleration when playing backhand topspin. And I also show you how to use a little body rotation to add some energy to your backhand attacks.
This video is useful for any player who has a 'safe' backhand and wants to develop a stronger backhand topspin attack.

there are some drills one can do alone practicing the backhand topspin and backhand loop against a topspin OR a a backspin. The technique is slightly different. As long as an experienced coach can give you some initial guidance on how to do this, you can practice alone and you do not even need a robot. As as far as the wrist is concerned, i've been training with a coach for 4 months, 3 times per week, and he still doesn't allow me to use the wrist although there is some pressure from my much higher-ranking players whom tell me to use it. I just go by what my coach tells me. No wrist for me for the moment.... In my humble opinion, for what its worth, when you've mastered the technique whereby your wrist doesn't wabble when you perform these backhands, only then you can start slowly introducing the wrist.... Good video, Tom, thank you, it made us all think....

Good lesson Tom, nice to watch.
However, I know all this you talk about well in theory, but in practice it still doesn't work out as I would like. I have the impression that it is very difficult to unlearn muscle memory for certain bad habits. Even though I know about some technical mistakes I make, I feel it's hard to fix because when playing (especially match play), it's these subconsciously encoded habits that take over.
PS. You seem to have improved your BH significantly, it's fast and snappy. Probably the training with PowerPong has helped.

Nice tutorials for backhand topspin 👍👍🏓🏓
In this video your training by robot and opponent.
What about if training by yourself without using robot and opponent, would you explain to us ?

Just a word of WARNING. This is my main method of topspin attack for various reasons, and as a result I've had pretty painful tennis elbow for over a year now. Granted I maybe overdo it a bit and go far faster than Tom does here, but again I can't use traditional topspin for certain reasons. Thought I'd warn folks not to overtax their joints like I did.
