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.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
