Forehand topspin in a game
Training
Phuc Nguyen Unknown Asked 16 years ago
Dear coach,
When i practice the forehand & backhand topspin and smash, we do ok. In the game, sometime we smash or topspin, they go out ( off) the table.Why?
We think that our footwork is not good , so we can not move to the right spot to hit the ball?!!!
Please give us some advice. Thanks.
Regards.
Phuc Nguyen.

Hi Phuc,
Footwork can certainly be one area that will help with consistency in a game.
During practice you should practice doing the topspin strokes with movement. You can then build this up to doing topspin when your practice partner is hitting the ball anywhere.
The other thing that can happen in a game is that you may try too hard and lose the shape of your stroke. It is important to keep the stroke the same in a game situation.
Try these two things out and let me know how it goes.

In the first week of your preparation we focused on the consistency of your third ball attack. This week, since the third ball is so important, we are going to continue working on this. However this week we are going to focus on placement. It is really important tactically to think about where you are going to play the ball. We build upon the drills from last week so you can improve the effectiveness of your third ball through placement.
