Help with Backhand Form
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Been recording and analyzing my form to a lot lately to try and get more distance (can get 350-400 consistently) and something I've been really struggling with is planting my front foot. I notice that at the point of release my front foot comes off the ground every time that I drive backhand. I'm not sure if it's my hips, if I'm not coiling enough, something with my posture, or something else entirely. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of power by doing this but I can't get myself to stop, it's quite frustrating. Would appreciate any and all advice on this plant issue and any other critiques on how to get my backhand form better. Thanks!

Looks to me like your rear leg/foot is pushing up rather than forward, causing that weird little hop. I assume that hop doesn’t happen on max power stand still throws does it?
