First / Inducement Topspin
Strategy
DHS Lover Asked 12 years ago
Hi PingSkills, i want to ask about the inducement topspin
as when i try to topspin the ball not too hard, she said that it's good as what i do is the inducement topspin or topspin for the first time and wait the opponent to block and then generate a hard topspin
so what inducement topspin is ? as i don't know too much about that. maybe you know what it means
please for the answer :D thank you very much :D

Hi Frendy,
I haven't heard the term used before but I guess it is a slower first topspin to set up a faster next ball.
A slower topspin or opening topspin can be effective depending on the type of player you are playing.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.

Not necessarily. A slow topspin can be effective as well.
