Hey guys

How much should I follow through when looping against backspin and when is the best time to hit the ball?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,

With the forehand topspin against backspin you can follow through a little higher because you will tend to have a little more time and you need the extra lift.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.   This will show you the finish position we recommend.  The finish position is one of the most crucial elements of a stroke.  Work hard to get it right.
