At the club level, below 1400, can a good topspin return overcome most spin serves?

Hi Phillip,

I think in most cases this is right.  If the serve is long, and if you have good topspin technique you should be able to overcome any serve.

Thanks for your quick response.  You guys are great!  I am converting from a long pips backhand to a topspin short pips backhand with good topspin.

Merry Christmas,

Phil
