Hi!

I have a trouble that I'm quite often miss the ball when I'm trying to do topspin on a not difficult ball (which not low over the table)..is there any exercise to solve this problem?? and the similar problem, I'm failing the hit when touch the ball by edge of the racket.

Thanks!

Hi Alexander,

One thing that I can recommend is starting to focus more on the ball when it is play.  We often miss the ball when we aren't focused well enough.

As silly as it sounds, it may also be worth getting your eyes checked.  This may not apply to you, but may apply to other readers.  I have known a lot of high level players who had their eyes checked and needed glasses.  They then improved because they could finally see the ball.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
