Backhand side-topspin loop

Strokes

Kyriakos Antonakis Asked 10 years ago

Hey Alois,

I noticed yesterday when i was attacking with backhand topspins the ball curved from right to left. My friend who was playing me said that everytime i attacked with backhand the ball curved that way. I notice that this happens when i implement wrist when attacking. Is it good or shall i change it and when is it usable. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyriakos,

I think it is good to learn a topspin with pure topspin on it to start with. This will give you the best chance to get the ball on the table and also develop stronger strokes later on.

After a while you can start experimenting with some sidespin as well.

In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
