Hi

How do I return a fast sidespin topspin. I find myself standing still because the curve of the sidespin and the speed of the topspin and the sidespin topspin is always low on the table.

Hi Tri,

I find it easiest to put a bit of sidespin back on the ball.  It will feel like it keeps low because it doesn't have as much topspin as a straight topspin forehand.  If you are both right handers then you are coming around the outside of the ball and the ball is coming into your bat.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
