Here are the best backhands imo: Kreanga, Karakasevic, Zhang Jike, Wang Hao, FZD & Darko Jorgic. Honourable mentions: Oh Sang Eun, Pitchford, Harimoto, Calderano, Dima & Liang Jinkun.
Try to be more confident, FZD is the successor of all the backhand monster players, (wang hao, ZJK etc), i even saw a 16 minutes RU-vid video not long ago, purely showcasing the power of FZD's backhand
@@Keldeo-gx I think it's more of the change to counterattack being dominant. the 38mm celluloid balls along with speed glue made the game pretty damn fast, so defensively playing was much more of an option. With how much harder it is to hit and spin the larger plastic balls, rapid backhand counterattacks that make use of the opponents power are dominant.
I don’t say Timo’s is bad but he is still traditional forehand dominant. He can win points with great backhand execution but in overall backhand is his weakness
I disagree partially. Timo had a quite weak backhand when He was young but he improved it a lot. This is one of the reasons he still is active on a high level. Decreasing speed can only be equalized with flexibility.
This guy made list on his youtube channel. He could put himself of one of his friends on it, it doesn't matter. It's like a facebook status or tweet, basically an opinion. So this is his list if you think differently *make your own*
Where's Lin Gao Yuan ? In terms of efficiency and speed he deserves to be in this list, tbh I don't get why so many people consider Calderano's backhand as great while it's not super stable like it depends so much of if he's in a good day or not while the others are way more stable than him, even in a bad day they can still pull off something from their backhand
Worthy mentions from this best of bh list is definitely Karasevic, Jorgic, Franziska, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong, Jorge Perrson and Noshad Alamiyan among others. Noshad anyone ??.. Sadly, l don't see him on anyone's list ..😮
Спорный рейтинг. Бэкхенд Лиан Джинкуна, Карашкевича, Овчарова, Самсонова, Джоргича, Джу Юн Сика, О Сан Юна, не стоит забывать изобретателя банана Корбеля, у Роскопфа был сильнейший бэкхенд по мнению Вальднера....
I think Liam is incredibly easy to notice how goo it is. From practicality FZD is a league on its own. But Harimoto's backhand has led him to the top. The fast tempo and the course selecting is just genius.
Esta es mi lista: 1. Fan Zhendong 2. Lin Shidong 3. Kreanga 4. Hugo Calderano 5. Karakasevic 6. Persson 7. Lin Yun Ju 8. W. Hao 9. Schlager 10. Oh Sang Eun
IMO: Two players who do not have anything special/spectacular backhand, and do not belong to this list are: harimoto, and hugo. Harimoto is just little quicker at the ball on table on the backhand. Any top level player, in top 100 ranking, can hit their level/type of backhand. FZD: has the short, wrist driven strokes, very powerful flick and flick oriented backhand topspin, the sudden explosion of FZD is not matched by anyone, and a delight to watch - so he is above others, except Kreanga. Kreanga: is undisputable king of backhand, in my assessment. Just look at the power, hook, fade, on the table, away from the table, regular stroke variations and surprise element. Way before Chinese learned the philosophy of power from ground he was driving immense backhand power from ground/body. Karakasevic: many others are mentioned as left out in comments but this one is the most serious. No backhand list should be complete without him - his is very thought out, placement oriented and methodical backhand player. Not as spectacular to watch as FZD and Kreanga, but on par overall quality.
