Heavy Spin
Strokes
Felix Chan Asked 8 years ago
Hi, Alois and Jeff
How can I hit the ball with heavy sidespin? I always see the players hitting their shots with REALLY heavy sidespin. How to do that?( The main point is heavy).

Hi Felix,
To get sidespin on your topspin strokes you can lift or lower the end of your racket by changing the angle of your wrist.
Take a look at this video on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.
On a serve it is about brushing the side of the ball or across the back of the ball.
To make the spin heavy it is about brushing the ball really fast. The faster you brush the more spin you will get.

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.
