Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 13 years ago
hi alois,
ive noticed pros like wiliam henzell, or the great Wang Liqin make topspins right off the bounce much before the ball reaches a good height!! how do they do this is it matter of touch and feeling or the ball or do they play with open faces?
i mentioned these 2 players because i see it more clearly when take it right off the bounce

Hi Shripathi,
It is a difficult stroke to take it off the bounce. YOu need to have your bat turned over the ball almost flat. Strokes like this only come with a lot of training. Many many years.
Take a look at our lesson on how to Counter A Spinny Topspin. This will show you the stroke.
