How to play a slow spinny topspin

Hi there,

I still have difficulties to play a slow spinny topspin with fh and bh. When it works it happens more or less accidentally. Most of the times the ball ends in the net because I can't bring enough forward motion into the ball or it lacks topspin. I´m still not sure how long and fast the stroke should be to generate a lot of spin. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

It takes a lot of touch to be able to do it well consistently.

We do have a lesson on this in our Master Classes under Slow Spinny Topspin.

Make a full stroke as we show you in our lesson on the Forehand topspin just get the contact really fine.

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
