Hi Alois,

Is it possible to perform a heavy topspin with a long ball trajectory ? Usually when we doing this, we will losing the spin due to high speed on the ball. Otherwise, the arc of the ball will be shorter due to heavy spin.

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

This is possible but more difficult due to the speed on the ball.  The key is to brush the ball finer and finer to get the ball slower but still have the spin.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
