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.

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.
