Hi Alois and Jeff,

What kind of spin is generated when you hit the table when returning?? like what Simon is doing in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TT0zAA58lI

Thanks,

Hi Jerome,

Because he is coming down on the ball it will be backspin.  A bit depends on the type of contact he is making on the ball as to how much spin he is getting.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
