Hi Jeff and Alois
I have a little problem in my game.
Do you know if it is possible to force the opponent to play a specific stroke?
To be exact,I usually want my opponent to use a short or slow spinny topspin.
But many players do their best to avoid using ANY topspin or a long,powerful one.
Do you have any advice how to force them to make a slow attack?

Hi,
If you can get the ball low with a lot of backspin and with the second bounce just over their end line may be the best option.

Today I tried it,but they just pushed it back :(,athough I know that they are easily capable of looping it

Keep it in that same place and eventually they will make the slow topspin.
