Strokes
Hi, I'm Adwaith. I'm able to play all sorts of spin, short or deep other than backspin. If my opponent chops the ball deep to my court, I'm unable to play it. Counter chop is also very difficult. Can u please suggest an easier way to face such deep chopped spin balls.
Hi Adwaith,
Persevere with the topspin against the backspin ball.
Watch the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin tutorial for more tips. Focus on getting into position and then the start and finish of the stroke that we show you.
This is the best strategy in the long term on how to deal with a long backspin ball as it will put you in an attacking position in the rally.
For the counter spin take a look at the Topspin to Topspin tutorial.
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
