Playing less aggressively
Strokes
eugene lu Asked 9 years ago
Hi pingskills,
When playing my forehand topspin, my coach says I must turn my waist and the upper arm must pass through the ball fast in order a better quality stroke. But then, when I play the stroke, my coach told me I'm to aggressive with the stroke that I'm hitting everything out.
I can't help myself. Once I start to use my waist and arm faster, I will generate a lot of power. Is there a way I can play less aggressively but still maintaining the waist rotation and arm movement?

Hi Eugene,
When you rotate your waist you can still brush the ball on contact and hit the ball with more spin and safety. If you have a flatter contact it will go faster.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
