Hi Vic,

The main thing about adding power is to start to use more of your body to generate the power.

Think about using the same strokes that we show you in the Basic Strokes area.  Then look at the Advanced Forehand Topspin and Advanced Backhand Topspin to see the development of the more powerful stroke.

The use of the penholder grip has the same principles.

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.
