Strokes
Jonny zhi Asked 2 years ago
Hey alois I can topspin with pure topspin really well now. However I'm learning how to sidespin loop but I keep on hitting the net and missing the ball it's so frustrating. Do you know how to improve?

Hi Jonny,
Take a look at the tutorial on Sidespin Forehand Topspin.
The sidespin topspin is more difficult as you are not hitting straight through the ball so there is always a chance to miss the ball. Keep working on the stroke if you think it is useful but also make sure you are able to play the straight topspin consistently.
