How to Throw a Powerful Spinning Backhand

The nuclear bomb of backhands is the spinning backhand. The spinning backhand uses centrifugal force to maximize the power that you can get out of a backhand. This technique is somewhat slow and briefly leaves you in a vulnerable position, but the successful backhand will knock your opponent off his feet.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
