Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Hui Wang. He is a coach at Houston Int’l Table Tennis Academy in Katy, Texas. Coach Wang’s response is as follows:

Hi Riyad,

First of all, you need to have a good ready position from backhand side, both knees bent down, lean the body forward, keep the hand over the table, elbow down, when the ball coming to your side follow it to do the forearm backswing, then try to hit the ball forward.

Hope this will help you.

If you still do not understand you can search some videos online.

Best of luck!
