How to perform slow spinny topspin with backhand? Particularly against the ball below table level?

Hi Erriza,

The principles are the same as for the Forehand that we show in the lesson on the Slow Spinny Topspin.  When the ball is lower than the table you need to really brush the ball upwards to get it up quickly and then drop when it goes over the net.  The grip on the rubber will lift the ball up and over the net and the topspin will make the ball dip after it goes over the net.
