Hi Alois,
I recently played a game where the ball had medium topspin coming to me so I thought that topspin would keep it down on the table. I tried to brush slow and fast as well as close my bat angle but the majority went off the table. Does smashing through the ball cancel/reduce the incoming topspin and can it be more consistent than topspin when returning?
Hi David,
Take a look at our Lesson on how to Counter A Spinny Topspin. This will give you various techniques that you can use.
Smashing does lessen the effect of the spin but it is also a high risk stroke.
