How to play a slow spinny topspin

Strokes

Manfred Rolfsmeier Asked 12 years ago

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.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
