  • What is Chuan doing?(2:28). Is that a kind of lob?
  • What is Timo Boll doing?(2:38 and 2:46) Thanks a lot!

Hi Archel,

Chuan is doing a sidespin lob.

Boll is doing a sidespin topspin but if you notice he has changed hands and is using his right hand to play this shot.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.

Isn't more effective just to use your backhand?

Usually it is but Timo likes to change hands sometimes and he is effective with it.
