Hi Alois and Jeff,

How to deal with the long backspin serve or a chop? I've watched your video about the forehand/backhand topspin off backspin, but I couldn't made it pass through the net.

Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,

If the ball is going into the net you need to lift it more with a more vertical stroke.  Also check that you have grip on the rubber on your racket.  Without this grip you will not be able to lift the ball well.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
