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.
