Strokes

Hello, wondering how to hook and fade around the net ? forehand and backhand

Hi Mayo,

You need a lot of soidespin on the ball and the ball has to be wide enough to be able to make this stroke.

Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin. This is the stroke that you should use. Of course the ball has to be in the right position to be able to do that. It is a spectacular shot when it comes off.

I would not focus too much on this though. It is better to work on the standard topspin first.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
