Hitting the ball too far in front for topspin strokes

Hello Coach,
I think I might be hitting the forehand topspin too far in font of my body. Would you please help me with this. A video or a photo would really be helpful.
Thanks, Phil

Hi Phillip,
Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Topspin Against Block and see if this is what your topspin looks like.
If you feel it is too far in front of your body, experiment with hitting it later and see if that helps.

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.
