Hi Abhishek,

Have you seen the lesson on Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.  This will be a good starter.

With topspin against topspin you need to turn your hand over the ball more than with shakehand because the racket is naturally in a more upright position.  You can use your fingers to help to make this angle change as well.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
