Generating both spin and speed
Strokes
David Samoilov Asked 9 years ago
I can do a slow topspin or a fast ball with no spin but I cant seem to combine both without it getting inside the net.
Do i need to close the angle more? my swing need to be more forward?

Hi David,
If the ball is going into the net a lot then try to swing with a slightly higher finish and also brush the ball to generate more topspin.
By using a very similar stroke to your normal topspin and then increasing the speed of your swing you will generate more speed.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
