How to get effective backspin

John Kao Asked 5 years ago

Hello,

When I do some short backspin serves I failing because a) the angle is not enough to generate backspin, or b) when I do not have enough momentum to carry the ball over the net (the backspin stops the ball completely).

How should I do this?

thanks, John

Hi John,

You can adjust the angle of your racket and push the ball more forward to get it on the table.  It is great that you are generating good backspin.
