A steady backhand comes less from a bigger swing and more from elbow position, a short setup, and a fast link to the next shot.
If your backhand keeps breaking down, it's usually more useful to check elbow position, a short setup, and the link to your next shot than to try swinging bigger. This list walks through twelve checkpoints you can actually verify mid-rally, from setup through course changes to recovering between consecutive shots.
Match your racket face and contact point on slow feeds first, then move into live rallies and check one item at a time. If you feel pain, stop right away instead of pushing through the motion.
