Less flat forehand shots
Strokes
Victor Ostapenko Asked 9 years ago
Hello,
I have a good forehand shot with good speed but less spin. The coach from the club says that I should apply more spin to my forehand topspin shot rather than hitting flat shots. However I doubt that if I have more spin then it will be less speed which my opponent can punch it.
How can I add maximum speed and spin to my forehand topspin shot and backhand topspin shot?
thank you

Hi Victor,
It is a always a balance between spin and speed. Getting variation is often the best option so that your opponent doesn't get used to one type of shot.
Take a look at our lesson on the Advanced Forehand Topspin and the Advanced Backhand Topspin to see how to generate more speed but keep the spin on the ball.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
