What is called a “backhand short cross-court”?
A backhand short cross-court is a shot hit by a player from one corner of the court diagonally to the other corner, using their backhand stroke. This shot is typically used to change the direction of play, create an opening, or force an error from the opponent. The ball is hit with spin to make it bounce low and fast, making it difficult for the opponent to return effectively. The backhand short cross-court can be a very effective shot, especially when used in combination with other shots and strategies.
