Difficulty in doing top spin

Strokes

Baseer Uddin Asked 9 years ago

Hello Alois Sir,

I am a beginner player in table tennis using butterfly wakaba 3000, when i play with one my friend having a style of chopper, I can't return his chop by doing top spin stroke. Every time i do top spin the ball hit directly on the net. I can't understand what is the problem, even how hard i try I can't do that. Please give some suggestion.

Hi Baseer,

It is a difficult shot to start with. Watch the tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin to get help with it.

Sometimes I find that players don't move their bat fast enough through the stroke to lift the ball over the net.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
