Forehand And Backhand Topspin
Strokes
Vineet Pandya Asked 14 years ago
Dear Alois and Jeff,
I had a question regarding the topspins. To what extent the bat should be bent while hitting topspins? I always vary this angle and get my stroke wrong. Please Help!!

Hi Vineet,
The angle of your bat will depend on the amount of backspin on the ball. If there is a lot of backspin you will need to have your bat quite open. If there is little backspin then you can angle your bat down more.
This is a skill that will improve with time. You need to feel the amount of backspin on the ball and learn to adjust naturally.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
