To help us work it out, I use some side-by-side slow motion analysis. This helps see how Liam uses a different swing trajectory, more wrist and a dynamic stance to produce a faster backhand topspin shot. There is also some footage of me trying to return Liam's very fast backhand topspin attacks. In the video Liam is using the following equipment: Blade: Victas Liam Pitchford blade: https://bribartt.co.uk/product/victas...
