i try to brush the ball during the topspin, but i either miss, hit the edge or it just has no speed. So how do i do a proper one?

Hi Dion,

You need to track the ball better.  Make sure you are making better contact by watching the ball.

By watching the ball you will hit the ball more often.  Then you can start to think about hitting the ball with more speed.

Then you can think about the contact to get more speed.  You can flatten the contact a little for more speed.

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.
