Digging spin vs good brushing spin

Strokes

I have a bad habit of letting the ball dig into my forehands and then it pops out of the sponge spinny because of my follow through. It's safe, but I feel it's lowering my max ceiling on power / spin. Any tips on getting good brushing attacks?

Hi Frank,

Try to contact the ball slightly flatter to increase the speed. (I've updated this, see comments below).

Take a look at the tutorial on the Advanced Forehand Topspin.  This will give you some ideas.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
