attacking a backspin ball
Strokes
anegondi nateri Asked 14 years ago
hello guys,
i have one more question...
more often when i play against a chop or a push when the game is progressing, i inturn again return it as a chop or push. but i am scared to play the conventional forehand topspin against backspin even when it lands deep onto the table. so my question is
since the spin involved in a chop or a push is backspin, can we return it as forehand topspin against backspin?
if yes, give me some confidence through your guidance. i saw many big guys retuning easily as forehand topspin, against the push or chop.
so plz help me in this regard

Hi Anegondi,
YOu can certainly hit this type of ball with a topspin. In fact that is what you should be doing to gain the advantage in the rally. If you push or chop the ball back you are giving the advantage to your opponent.
Watch the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin for some more tips.
