Counterhit vs Topspin
Strokes
Shovik Ghosh Asked 9 years ago
When I am practicing counterhit, I tend to make a finer contact like the topspin, instead of driving the ball. I am not sure as to how a counter hit stroke is different from a Topspin stroke (both forehand and backhand). My accuracy is not very good with top spins - other players say that it is because I am trying to go to more advanced strokes without learning basics.
I have watched your counter hit videos many times. But I am still not able to guess the exact difference between a counterhit and a topspin. How exactly is a counterhit different from a Topspin (both backhand and forehand)?

Hi Shovik,
The topspin stroke is just extensions of the counterhit. The counterhit has a slightly flatter contact on the ball and a smaller swing. There is still a little topspin on the counterhit. But, if you are making mistakes with the counterhit then decrease the topspin and increase the flat contact till you become consistent.

Forehand Pivot Footwork
The pivot is where you are moving around your backhand corner to play a forehand. This is something that will come in handy in a match situation, especially if you have a stronger forehand. We will show you the best way to move in the pivot footwork.
