Fast topspins vs spinny topspins

Hey pingskills,

I know there are two types of topspins. One type of topspin is that the contact is a bit flat and you are using your legs, hips and forearm to transfer more speed. The other one is that there is more topspin than speed.

So my question is, when do you do a faster one and when do you do a spinner one. And what are the effects between these to types of topspins.

Hi Eugene,

You can play either of them at any time.

It all depends on what you think will be more effective against that particular opponent at that time.

I think a variation of the speed and spin is the most effective tactic.
