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.

Hi Tushar,

If you can now do it in practice you are making progress.  Now do some more drills where you don’t know where the ball is coming and see if you can adjust to it.
