Dear Alois 

I have switched to adding side spin to my forehand topspin but I seem to be getting loads of sidespin and no topspin.

I want to keep it even on sidespin and topspin but I can't. 

Do you have any tips for me ?

From Joe Miller

P.S I asked you a question back in spring about balls.I now have some high quality ones which I use. We actually bought them on the sight you recommended.Thanks

Hi Joe,

Alter the angle of your bat slightly by tilting it forward. This will give you a bit more topspin and a little less sidespin.

Forehand Block

The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.

Also, extra question ...

Around when does the bat edging tape start to peel off because mine is doing that  

Thnx

They don't tend to last very long.  It is something you can replace.
