Hi Alois,

I got a problem....if the ball is 3/4 below the net,is it possible to loop it very fast?

Hi Martin,

Yes you can topspin this ball fast.  It is about generating enough topspin on the ball to get it up and down quickly.

Take a look at the Lessons on the Forehand topspin to make sure you have the basics right. To generate more speed get yor bat to move more forward than up.

When returning you need to be able to watch and see what type of serve your opponent is doing. You need to judge as quickly as possible whether it is short or fast and long.

If what you say is true,is that means that if i want spin...the ball is slow...but if i want speed,the spin is less?and i got a little bit confuse that how to topspin the ball fast.'For more speed your swing is more forward to back or horizontal.'What means?

To get more speed your swing needs to be more horizontal. You can still generate good spin on this by brushing the top of the ball fast. So swing your arm fast through the normal swing but brush the top of the ball to generate the spin. A rubber with a tacky surface will help to make this stroke.
