Forehand Topsin (Nadal Style)
Strokes
Random Person Asked 12 years ago
I find my most successful shots to be slower topspins with a high throw angle that drop sharply onto my opponent's court. I am able to perform this with my backhand by using my wrist and striking the top of the ball, but I am unable to replicate it with my forehand. Do you have any suggestions on how to perform a Nadal style forehand in table tennis?

Hi Will,
The main thing to make the topspin the same is to focus on the finish position of the stroke. Get the finish right up near the forehead like we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.
If you look at Nadal he goes up over his head with the stroke which is why he generate more topspin than the other Tennis players.

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.
