How can I backhand topspin?

Hi,

The basic principles of the backhand topspin are to start with your bat down low. At around knee high is a good basic start. The contact of the bat on the ball should be a brushing contact. Your swing should finish at around head high but at the side of your head in line with your shoulder. For more speed you swing through a little more forward. To lift backspin you can swing more vertically.

Hope this helps.

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.
