Build a backhand that holds up
A stable backhand comes from spacing, timing and shape before it comes from trying to hit harder.

Create space first
The best backhands begin with early movement and enough distance from the ball to swing freely.
Train the neutral ball
Before chasing winners, build a repeatable cross-court ball that can survive pressure and reset a point.
Keep the idea simple enough to repeat in training, then test it with scoring. Improvement sticks when the drill eventually behaves like a point.
