hi alois and jeff,

im using all the tips u gave on getting power and spin on the ball to great effect! but i still find myself missing a few loose balls. my coach says i need more spin the ball.  how do i get even more spin on the ball on loops and lobs(especially lobs, due to lack of response time, i play balls with less kick.)? how do i improve tmy brush contact even further?

thank you sirs!

Hi Shripathi,

Just work at getting a better contact more consistently.  As you develop you will get better feel for it and then really be able to go after the topspin.
