Hello sor,

I just wanted to know,are we supposed to bring our hand at an abrupt stop after a topspin, or let it go and reduce velocity on it's own?

Hi Achyuth,

It can't stop immediately but it needs to stop to recover for the next shot.  Think about the stat and finish positions that we teach and you will find a good amount of acceleration and stopping for recovery.
