- In this video, I show three classic mistakes players make when playing a backhand drive. The three mistakes are reaching sideways, reaching forwards and hitting down on the ball. I explain why you should avoid these mistakes and how to correct them.

Thank you for your help with my game Tom, from a beginner in Dallas Texas.
Excellent techniques sir, especially that circle trick is great
Really nice, just like most of your video's so far. Do wish you made a few more video's about defence though. With regular rubbers and long pip tips at least. Personally I would love to see advice on switching from defence to offence and back within rally's, since so many defencive players get stuck on that.
I would need a video which tells me, how to see what spin the opponent uses, sometimes can be tricky.

Love ur videos !
Watch them over and over, and learn a lot. Thx Tom !
You are welcome. Happy to help in any small way I can.
like your lessons alot..keep going with that sweet voice.
Love your videos. Funnily enough I use them for playing table tennis is vr, have you given it a try Tom? Be curious to hear your take on the latest versions of either eleven tables or racket fury.
Very nice tips Tom. Keep forword.
Thanks for this Video now i know what to do next time
İ love your videos , you are the best in making table tennis training videos i think
I am pengrip player and was wondering if you could do a tutorial and backhands for pg. Maybe RPB? Love the vids. Thanks!
Yes we need this
The principals are the same for shakehand backhand & RPB (Reverse Penhold Backhand).
I like backhand strokes. I was able to check that I did not make any mistakes as explained in the video. Thank you Tom ! From Japan 🏓
Cool
My dream is to live in japan and ur in japan that is so cool
Great, thanks Tom!
Tom - great content! Question on mistake #1 there - if I move to the left to get a good backhand as you demonstrated, how can I then recover if my opponent shoots wide on the other side of the table? Thanks and looking forward to the next video
Have you never cross stepped
@@SamHiggan I'm not familiar with that term
@@Zenith292 Look it up on youtube
Thanks Tom , others 2 common mistakes are the the wrist is not relaxed at the end of the shot , touching the ball remain bloked, and another is that the arm extend completely without pivot on the elbow (like a door that open on his hinges).
Thanks a lot
Great tips. My problem is the number one mistake. Run just too little and therefore often use the extended arm in the backhand.
I have to use the footwork more.
simple exercises to improve movement in backhand , 1 ball in the middle 1 ball in the backhand corner, another free block in the half left area of the table and you do backhand point the ball with your navel
very very nice sir
firstly, I love the videos you are producing. I am always looking forward to the next one and having Paul and Craig 'strut their stuff' is inspiring. However, I did NOT agree with your backhand drive video in regards to reaching. If the ball is short, surely you should be stepping in (and attacking where possible) as opposed to waiting for the ball. The earlier you can take the ball, the less time your opponent has and you also can get better angles
cheers
Mick
Yes, you are correct. If the ball is short you should step in. I guess the point I was making in this video is that some people reach forward for the ball when it's not short, and that's the error to fix.
@@TomLodziak fair enough. Keep them coming. cheers. Mick
Thanks for your question and coach's replication. I have the overreaching problem on my backhand and really is bothered by “short, high, backhand side" balls. But when I saw the video first, I didn't get the answer, or, it seemed that I should hit a ball "after it came down and close to me", which is quite difficult to time it. Ok, stepping in and close to a ball. Thanks. (Can you teach or demonstrate the "backhand smash"? Especially for hitting a mid-high low topspin.)
Sir pls make video on how to hold bat with criag or paul drinkhall
Pls......
Will you talk about pressure next time where you are too excited then you mess up everything?
Hi Tom. Enjoying your videos as I get back into table tennis after almost 25 years of not playing. I tend to play close to the table as a counter-hitter, and my backhand drive is generally pretty good (I probably over use it). Nevertheless, I struggle against my regular playing partner when he hits fast loopy shots deep towards my body. I almost jump a little up and back to avoid hitting the ball on the half volley, and end up hitting a fairly mediocre block quite high off the table. I suppose I could step back but perhaps I'm not anticipating the shot and I find there isn't much time to do this. I wonder whether you have any videos which would help, or perhaps that's a topic for a future video. I haven't seen much online about returning those body shots that cramp your stroke.
Hi Edward - if you play close to the table, then you will be vulnerable to very deep balls. I have the same issue! Anticipation is key. If you watch your partner closely, you should see the topspin attack coming. Then you need to keep low, get your bat higher and close the bat angle. You can then block these attacks, whilst staying close-ish to to the table. You will be blocking quite soon after the bounce - which is an advanced skill, but can be very effective if you get it right. Next time I do a blocking video, I'll try and cover this topic.
@@TomLodziak cheers Tom 😃
Tom, great video. One question though: when you hit backhand shots, your thumb seems to be a bit higher and more prominently placed on the bat. For a forehand shot, that would of course need to change.
My question is: is it okay if the way we grip the paddle changes in some ways for forehand and backhand shots? Thanks.
Some coaches say you should keep the same grip. other coaches say it's ok to make a small adjustment. I think it's ok to make a small adjustment, as long as it doesn't effect your consistency.
1st comment!!!!!😘😘😘love u
Teach me how to serve spin plsssssssssssss.
what is the best paddle for intermediete player？
Completly dependent on your gamestyle. And there is no such thing as a best paddle for any intermediate players because it depends on what sort of style you play, defensive, offensive or the new offensive defensive style also if you topspin/loop or backspin block etc etc. Different paddles for different players.
The most important is to get any bat that has good grip and speed, then just make a very solid technique.
tip number 2? what do do with short serves?
Well, you can push, drive or flick short serves depends on what variation of spin of the serve you received.
シリーズお願いします
Well how do you avoid mistake 3 if the ball is high on the backhand side?
If the ball is high, but not high enough for a smash, you always topspin it
Play erlear and not wait before it will become high
Find Craig Bryant to take this video,he is very good at his backhand.
If you reach out, lean and have your bat too high at the same time, your like me:D
🏓👍
the first one only works for slow moving balls, unfortunately. Even the best players in the game suffer from reaching out. FZD, as an example, does it here, and then the very next point in the video he does it again!

Tom can you polish language
You should make smaller videos
