Bat Angle

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey,

I've recently started to play some players who can generate a lot of topspin, and I'm having problems countering the topspin.

I try to turn my bat angle over to counter the topspin, but I often hit the ball with the edge of my bat because it's turned too over.

Some players also tell me not to turn the bat angle over.

So how should I counter heavy topspin?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

Take a look at our lesson on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

Advanced Forehand Topspin

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
