Strokes

How do you topspin a half-long backspin push/serve which just goes beyond the table without hitting your bat?

Hi Oliver,

If the second bounce is off the table then you can make a topspin.  Your stroke will need to be quite vertical though to get the ball up over the end of the table.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
