Hi Swaraj,

The topspin is an extremely important stroke so it is well worth persevering with it.

We really like players to focus on the start and finish positions of the stroke to get them right. Take another look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin. Take particular note of the start and finish and try to copy them. Do the stroke slowly until it feels really comfortable. This could take a few weeks. Then you can start to speed it up slightly.

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.
