How to respond a topspin

Strokes

Hector Vallejos Asked 13 years ago

Hi guys!

I'm looking for a instructional video on how to respond to topspin guys.

I use to respond by smashing with as much spin as I can, but mostly I get the ball to fly far beyond the table (back). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help

Hi Hector,

You are probably trying to do too much. A goo first response to their topspin is to make a Backhand Block or Forehand Block.

If you start with this and get consistent with it then you can start to think about getting a bit more aggressive with your response.

Eventually you may try to make the Topspin to Topspin stroke.

The Finish Position

There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.
