There are different ways to hit the high backhand, one we previously discussed was the backhand slice. However, there are two other options so you do not lose power: hitting on the rise and letting the ball drop. Hitting on the rise is harder, and a lot of players do not use it, instead they wait for the ball to drop. First, hitting on the rise means that you will be hitting the ball as it is rising. If you master this, it will make hitting high balls much easier however, the downside is there are a lot of places for you to make mistakes. This is because the ball is a lot tougher to hit when it is jumping straight up. However, waiting for the ball to drop is a lot easier to hit, and people feel more comfortable hitting that ball because you can control the timing, and will have more time to hit the ball. In addition, you are also hitting up as you hit the ball. So why would you ever be hitting the ball high with these two options? Well this is because sometimes the ball bounces and backs you up too far, which means there isn’t space behind the baseline. And believe me, it happens a lot; so working on hitting on the rise will help you out a lot with this shot. So give this tip ago and starting working hard on your backhands!
