Keeping the ball low with forehand topspin
Strokes
Evan Warner Asked 13 years ago
I've been having the same problem for a while. Everyone says that when you follow through a forhand top-spin, your racket should come upward to about eye level. Whenever I try this the ball ends up going extreamly high and off the table. Can you help me?

Hi Evan,
To adjust the height of the ball all you need to do now is to alter the angle of your bat. Turn your bat forward if the ball is going too high.

Is high necessarily a bad thing? It means you can get the ball on the table from a low starting height doesn't it?
Hi Oliver,
A higher topspin can be effective. It is a good variation and some players don't like the higher topspin as much as a faster.
