Hi Alois and Jeff, i was wondering on how to make an agressive and faster backhand topspin, because i speed up my backhand but it just goes slower than my forehand. How can i make one fast?

Thanks for reading!

Hi George,

Try to flatten out the contact a little.  This will speed up the ball.  You will still need some topspin on the ball but when you want it to go faster you need to compromise on spin.
