Generating speed with a lighter bat

Shinjini Basu Asked 11 years ago

Hi Coach,

So my problem is, I started playing a few months back and I'm generally an attacking player and rely a lot on speedy topspin shots. But all this while I was playing with a spare old bat. I've recently got a new bat which is much lighter than the one I'm used to, and while it's easier to control the heavy-spin shots with the new one, as soon as I try to generate any speed (especially with my backhand) the ball is flying off the table. 

Thanks in advance!
