Hello Alois!

I want to know the angle of racket when you topspin against flat push (it may be very little backspin).

How stroke changes if you want to topspin harder?

Thanks

Hi Mindaugas,

When you hit the ball that has little backspin you can angle your bat a little more over the ball. 

The less spin the more you can angle over the ball.

Similarly, when you hit the ball faster, you can angle a little more over the ball.  You need to brush the ball fast over the top. This can be effective as you are generating good spin and speed.

It could mean you have the angle too much down or you are not brushing the ball fast enough.
