Hit a ridiculous backhand pass today

[The Meat]

Today I was playing with a friend and hit this ridiculous backhand pass while on the stretch and it was done open stance! There was sick amount of side and topspin from my flick.

It kind of was like what happened at 1:59.

Anyone else hit this sort of shot before?

Wow, I was just wondering if anyone else has ever tried to hit backhand pass like you would in ping pong.

Well I must say there are a few great shots I've hit that I fondly remember, even 25+ years later. So good for you, OP!

I had a great backhand pass sorta like that last night. I was pulled wide just outside the doubles alley. Had already switched to a continental grip to slice it back to buy some time to recover but then I saw my opponent had gotten himself on top of the net and I changed my shot mid swing into a down the line winner 2 inches above the tape with pace and depth. Funny thing is I had already drawn this pusher I had been playing into the net many times and was hitting tons of great passes. He had finally gotten to the net on his own terms but after I hit that pass his face was like f@#$ me.

Man, when you linked that video I was hoping you caught it on tape. That would've been something.

Good job man, haven't read the comments, but don't listen to those who think you are bragging.

Wish we could have a thread where we could talk about these things, do something cool, cool to talk about it, but some get jealous or think you are bragging, sad.

When you play a lot strange things occur on the court. Probably, there was only a couple of times when I thought I created a shot but basically it's the hitting situation that forces us to create things. By playing more we create more things on court.

You probably had some speed from the opponent to work with? But great when these things come off.

Brief moments of brilliance are nice. It keeps us playing.
