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.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
