Hi Alois

I am having trouble with my fast Backhand topspin consistency. I can hit my BH topspin slowly and consistently but when I hit it hard it generally goes in the net. Please can you help. Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Try to maintain the techniques you are using for the slower topspin.  Often when we try to hit the ball faster we change our stroke.  Just get the bat to move through your swing a little faster.

Countering a Chop Block

The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.

Hi Alois

The advise you gave me worked well. Thanks a lot. I won a match against my dad thanks to my backhand. Thomas
