Hi PingSkills,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFH9B9ENjoY. What is the stroke that he used here to put sidespin on the ball and counter attack Suss? And how can I do this?

Hi Viet,

This is a fantastic shot that michael plays.  He does a backhand sidespin topspin.  This is an extremely difficult shot.  Not one that i would recommend that you try.
