Being able to “drive” a backhand with a certain amount of topspin is a huge asset to any player’s game.
Guess what the biggest problem players have with this shot?
The get too much topspin…
That’s right, too much artificial spin doesn’t help you with what it is you want to do with this shot.
Think about it, what’s your goal when you play either a forehand or backhand drive?
It’s to have the ball move through the bounce as quickly as possible so it can do what?
Get to that 2nd bounce…
If you can hit shots that bounce twice, you got it, you win those points.
Too much artificial topspin does nothing more than give your opponent a nice easy shot to handle.
So the key with the backhand drive groundstroke is to apply enough topspin to control the length of your shot but not so much topspin that you take away from the ball being able to penetrate through the bounce.
Make sense?
