Strokes

Good day Alois and Jeff,
i am using a defensive inverted rubber. i can chop a really heavy topspin loop with my inverted rubber but when my opponent adds sidespin, my chop goes out due to sidespin and i do not know how to counteract the spin.
any advice?
best regards,
Amekun

Hi Amekun,
You need to alter the angle of your racket to face to the side slightly to counteract the sidespin on the ball. So if the ball is going to the right, face your bat more to the left and vice versa.

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.
