Lifting heavy push
Strokes
Shivam Aggarwal Asked 12 years ago
sir i tried i everything but he chops the ball with loose hands with a lot of backspin on it so should i loop the ball as if i m playing against a defender?

Hi Shivam,
Yes that is a good idea. To lift the backspin ball you need to have a vertical stroke. Use the stroke we show you in the lesson on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.
Don't forget the speed of your racket also makes a difference. By getting the bat to move faster you will have more chance to lift the ball over the net. MAke sure though that you are maintaining a good technique.
