Hi Pingskills! The contact when topspin a backspin ball is just only brushing the ball right? Or need to hit it a little?

Hi Xariuz,

You can vary the amount of brush you get depending on the amount of spin they put on the ball and the speed you want to hit it.

For more speed you can flatten out the contact for more spin, brush the ball finely.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.

Flatten out the contact? Doesn't the ball go straight to the net if so?

Not necessarily.  You are still putting some topspin on the ball so it will dip.
