A backspin will cause the ball to spin backwards, slowing it down and making it bounce near the edge of your opponent's side of the table. Sanket Shah, coach at the Finsbury Table Tennis Club, shows you how to do backspin in this step by step guide.
Top Tips

- The angle of the bat is open, and the bat starts high and moves downwards and forwards.
- You can do backspin with your forehand and your backhand.
