How to do a behind the back shot (ft Liam Pitchford)

In this video I explain how to do a behind the back shot.

This is a really tricky shot to do. It requires a big rotation, a high elbow position and very good spatial awareness. It's the sort of shot which can really surprise your opponent and get loud applause from everyone watching.

To demonstrate the shot, I asked Liam Pitchford (England number 1) to use it against me. And he did so many times!

In the video Liam is using the following equipment:
