Blocking less topspin with the backhand
Strokes
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 10 years ago
Hey Guys
I have a problem with blocking topspins without much spin with my backhand
Every time when I try to block it, the ball goes into the net, even when I open the angle of the racket very much, so is there a special technique?
Thanks Lukas

Hi Lukas,
When the ball has less spin it tends to come through slower. Firstly make sure you are moving in to the ball more to make the stroke and generate a bit more of the pace yourself. Often players will play this ball from too far away from their body and so lose some control.
Also open the angle of your bat a little as you are doing.
These things will all help you to get the slower no spin or "Breadmill" ball back.
