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.

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.
