Hi Alois,

I'm having with my topspin technique. every time I try to topspin the ball goes high and off the table. How could I try and perfect my topspin?

Many thanks,

Hi William,

Try to just turn the angle of your bat more forward.  It could be as simple as this.  FIrstly begin by rotating your whole hand forward to close the angle of your bat.  You can also try making the stroke more forward rather than upwards.  With a penhold grip it is a little harder to get the hand to turn over enough.

In training think about getting the ball into the net rather than off the end.
