Strokes

Felix Chan Asked 7 years ago

Hi Pingskills

Can I hit the bottom of the ball when I am trying to serve with sidespin? Will the ball curve more?

Hi Felix,

You need a combination of under and side to get the ball to turn more sideways. The backspin will stop the ball moving forward too much and the slower speed and sidespin will cause the more turn.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
