i disagree with them calling it the korean/japanese backhand.
i would have called it the traditional chinese backhand haha

lolz its probly coz theyre from australia... =_="

the "korean/japanese backhand" looks really unorthodox. it could easily miss the table because it creates a bit of side spin. i rather do a reverse backhand if I wanted more topspin and speed.

agh...its better looking in youku or tudou this guy is so stiff

nahh its because my backhand is relatively weak, and everybody alwaus tends to aim close to my center line, so I adjust my body so. i kinda try to do it the way one of the wang players do it, but i fail ><
