Backhand Topsin on Sidespin
Strokes
Dominik E Asked 13 years ago
Hey Alois,
I would like to know, how I can do a Backhand Topspin to a long tomahawk
serve with more or less spin. What techniques do I need to have or what
is important for me to do a succcessful Topspin.
Greetings,
Topfdeckel

Hi Dominik,
The main thing I find is getting good position and balance to make the stroke. Once you do that then work at brushing the ball fast to get the ball spinning in the direction you want it to go.
Use a fair bit of racket head speed to get this right. Don't forget the actual technique of the topspin stroke as well.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
