Alois, I have a doubt about how does Joo Se Hyuk attacks with such power some short and low balls when the opponent has made a drop shot off his chop.

Thanks.

Hi Gustavo,

You are not the only one who has doubts about this. He is simply amazing!

The key is to generate enough topspin on the stroke so the ball can get up and over the net and still dip down in time to land on the table. He moves so quickly and gets into position and then plays a great Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. He gets his bat moving really fast and brushes the ball generating plenty of topspin.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
