Strokes
Everytime I try to play a forehand topspin, it's either the ball goes over the table (but still curves down) if I try to hit it fast and with topspin or hit it with topspin but goes to the net.
All of these errors came from slow and long balls. I kept experimenting but keep getting errors.
Thank you, PingSkills.
Hi Francis,
Focus on the stroke itself to start with. Then you can think about changing the angle of your racket subtly to allow for the ball going too high or too low. The important thing is to get the path of the stroke first and not worry too much if you are making slight errors.
Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
