Hi Mehrdad,

What is happening when you topspin the ball?

Are you making contact? Are you hitting the ball long or into the net? Are you generating spin?

Let me know and I will try to help further. The other option is to use the Analysis section of the website.  By submitting a video I will be able to see what is happening.

Forehand Counterhit

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
