Hi there
I wanted to know how to play inside-out top spins. Also if I should play an inside-out shot or use the other hand.(Instead of an inside-out forehand play a backhand and vice-versa)
Thanks

Hi Zaid,
Take a look at the lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin. This will show you how to do the shot.
It is a reasonable option as a change up. Don't try to do it as your standard shot though.

How about backhand inside-out topspin
You can do that too but the same applies. Make sure you can do the basics well first.
