Let's take a look at a golfer named Fighting for Dreams in video tips section of Pingpong.com. He posted a video of his left hand hitting ball horizontally with a handle. Let's see what's wrong.

1. Issues with pen grip, horizontal swipe, and left speed dial

In video, we can see that you have following problems with a backhand with a pen grip:

(1) Push ball back and forth with a backhand. (2) The ball on left bounces more forward. (3) The elbow joint of backhand ball is too fixed. (4) He did not move his feet in order to correct position of the body in time.

Second, method of correcting error of hitting ball from left with grip of handle

(1) Slightly tighten your elbow and forearm while tensing your wrist

The feeling of his game is that he is not pushing ball, but pushing ball. This game is not a big problem for beginners because it is difficult for beginners to control surface of racket well. racket surfaces are not stable, and wrist moves too much, which often leads to errors. Therefore, when you are generally a beginner, you can ask to use wrist as little as possible, and use forearm to apply force. However, you cannot lean on forearm after a certain stage of push back and forth, it's no different than a push and a grip block. When dribbling, entire forearm is too vertical, that is, raised too much, and it's not flat.

The elbow joint should be supported slightly forward as racket strikes horizontally. While extending racket, let forearm be flat and level with table. Wrist force.

(2) The wrist must first adduct and then adduct

Also, when you apply force, you throw your whole wrist forward more. For example, when a ball is flying and you want to apply force, you use your wrist to throw it from back to front.

Further on, you can relax your wrist a bit and bend your wrist inwards a bit as you extend racket. is a spinning process. When hitting ball, wrist follows forearm and intentionally applies some force forward, then forearm and wrist can use force to practice quick break (pull) of the backhand.

(3) During game, elbow joint must be constantly adjusted.

The key to performing horizontal strokes with a feather grip is adjusting elbow joints. Your elbow joints are too fixed.

The elbow joint is actually adjustable all time racquet is played horizontally. When racket is extended, elbow joint (tip of elbow) will be more to right, so that forearm is horizontal in front of body so that it is in line with table, and forearm is turned forward during stroke, drawing 1/2 circle, at which time elbow will be approach body, and tip of elbow will gradually turn to ground. If elbow joint is completely fixed, then there is no way to stretch forearm, and shoulder is also stiff.

(4) Didn't move legs to correct body position in time

We see that there are times when ball is not good, for example, when it reaches your right (right) corner, you do not move your feet, but move your hands to right, and then turn ball It is not good to play habit of catching ball.

When a backhand touches ball, you must adjust your body position at all times to match landing point of incoming ball. Try to keep point of impact on ball slightly to the left in front of your body.

Other aspects are relatively good, at least your movements are not very deformed, your whole movement system is still very stable, and you have a very good basis for movement system, and then adjust your arms and elbows a bit in future. Relax your joints a little, let them adjust adduction and support a bit so that your arms and wrists can be more stretched, then your movements will look more professional.

That concludes today's answer. If you have any questions during your workout or feel that your movements are unsteady, you can also take photos with your mobile phone and send them to Pingpong.com. Many coaches and golfers give some indicative suggestions.
