How can I make a perfect backspin? I always try, but never can.The ball always goes fast. You could make a video for me to learn? Thanks a lot.

HI Fernando,

To make backspin you need to brush under the ball.  If your contact is flat the ball will go fast.  If you get a thin or brushing action you will get the ball to go slowly.
