High, slow and Backspinny return

Aasim Showkat Asked 13 years ago

Hi, Alois

I am having a problem with a High, slow and Backspinny return. When I return it with Topspin the ball falls down on my side due to lack of speed(because the ball is above the end line) and when i push it, He gets a chance to make an attacking stroke. How can i overcome this problem.

Hi Aasim,

We have just added a video to a previous Ask the Coach question that is just on this topic.

Take a look at High backspin close to net.

It is a Premium video. Our Premium members will be able to see it. It talks about allowing for the backspin even though the ball is high. Most players see the ball is up high and think they can just hit through the ball and that is why the ball drags into the net. The backpin grips the bat and drags straight down.
