In this video I explain the basic technique for playing a backhand drive in table tennis.
A backhand drive is an attacking shot, typically used in fast topspin rallies.
In the video I explain when to use a backhand drive, how to execute the shot and some common mistakes to look out for.
I also give training drill examples to help you practice and improve.
