Less flat forehand shots

Strokes and Technique

Hello, 

I have a good forehand shot with good speed but less spin. The coach from the club says that I should apply more spin to my forehand topspin shot rather than hitting flat shots. However I doubt that if I have more spin then it will be less speed which my opponent can punch it. 

How can I add maximum speed and spin to my forehand topspin shot and backhand topspin shot?

thank you

Hi Victor,

It is a always a balance between spin and speed.  Getting variation is often the best option so that your opponent doesn't get used to one type of shot.

Take a look at our lesson on the Advanced Forehand Topspin and the Advanced Backhand Topspin to see how to generate more speed but keep the spin on the ball.
