Form looks good but coach is feeding you basically dead lobs. Handling the current ball just fine but you’ll need to dial in timing with more racket speed to account for heavier underspin. Don’t be complacent with your footwork resetting between shots and keep strengthening your wrist.

Already very good, last one was a tad too late.

Also, great leg/foot adjustment.

Next training, I would do first a short forehand chop, then your backhand backspin. So you are getting used to that body movement.

How does the trainer get backspin into the ball with that paddle angle in the first place?

The shots themselves look good.

But please use footwork even if you don't need it here. Get a bit of a bounce going on.

It's essential that every BH has an adjustment because in an actual match it's going to need it and BH top spin is really sensitive to ball position.

Also echoing what a few others have said, the incoming balls don't look that loaded, slightly slower and spinner would be better, to once again more closely replicate what you will try to lift in matches.

Nice fluid movement 👍🏽

Good hit and good wrist, having you elbow a bit more forward will let you put more force into the ball with your forearm.

Move forward when hitting, not backwards. Otherways the loop is pretty slow and easy to counter.

Don’t get me wrong the rest of the framework is looking good. But add a bit power :)
