5th ball topspin problems
Strokes
Nikhil Bathla Asked 12 years ago
if my opponent blocks the third ball attack then at that time or at fifth ball I am not able to topspin the ball and the ball goes out of the table.

Hi Nikhil,
This is a really common problem. Try t focus on getting that next ball down. Even if you try to hit it into the net to start with and see if this makes a difference. You really need to ficus on coming forward on that 5th ball.
The problem lies in making the small adjustment between lifting the 3rd ball and then coming forward on the 5th ball. To make the third ball you need to have a more vertical stroke because the ball has usually got some backspin on it. When they block that ball back it has topspin coming back to you. Practice this drill a lot in training.
