Hi coaches

must we always loop (topspin) against long balls? (which is backspin or side spin or topspin no matter which spin it has)?

Hi Mehmet,

In general it is preferable to topspin the long balls to get you into an assertive position in the rally.  If you push that ball you will allow your opponent to take the initiative.
