Strokes
Sir,
How far should I be displaced from the table while attempting a topspin, as many of my top spins have beautiful effect( thanks to your video) but keep flying out of the table as I am either too close or too far
Hi Achyuth,
You should be at a distance where you can just touch the table as a guide. If the block is going faster then you should move a little further away and similarly if the ball is dropping short you can move in.
The reason the ball is flying off the table could be because of the amount of topspin you are putting. You may need to put more topspin to make the ball dip onto the table. You will get more spin by brushing the ball finer.
When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
