Forehand sidespin
Strokes
Robert Atkinson Asked 11 years ago
When attacking with my forehand I have difficulty against players who defend using a fast forehand side spin loop.

Hi Robert,
The sidespin can be hard to deal with. Try to counter the sidespin by using the angle of your bat. Or you can try to sidespin it back like in the lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
