More backspin

Strokes

Anthony Capasso Asked 11 years ago

Hi guys,

i occasionally mix in a chop far from the table that lacks backspin. I use brand new smooth rubber. How can I get better spin. Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

To get more spin, lay your bat backwards more (facing the roof) and brush under the ball. This will generate more spin.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Chop.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

Your feet position
Your start position
Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
