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.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
