Reading the Amount of Topspin

Strokes

Kaustubh Kulkarni Asked 11 years ago

Hi,

How can I read the amount of topspin on the ball so that I can change my racket angle for block?

Thanks.

Hi Kaustubh,

This only comes with practice and experience. Don’t try to think about each different angle you need. Rather use experimentation to adjust the angle slightly each time. The more you do it, the better you will get and judging the spin and the angle of your racket that is required.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

Thank you for answer.

That said, a faster bat causes more top spin, and an upward motion more topspin than forward momentum as compared to a forward stroke
