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.

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.
