Forehand topspin vs backspin - Amateur vs Pro technique in slow motion

In this video I compare the forehand topspin vs backspin technique of an amateur player (myself) with the forehand topspin vs backspin technique of a professional player (England No.1 Liam Pitchford).

This helps see how Liam uses his body and fluid motion to produce a much more dynamic attacking shot. There is also some footage of me trying to return Liam’s very fast forehand topspin attacks.
