Returning high slow topspin
Strokes
Izzy H Asked 12 years ago
I have another question.
When my opponent is playing topspin I find it quite easy to block but when my opponent starts to spin really slow and a a little bit higher and with more topspin this isn't as easy. At the moment my bat touches the ball the ball goes up and over the table. When I try closing my bat a little the ball most of the time doesn't fly over the table, but he goes really slow so my opponent smashes that ball. Or my block just simply doesn't make it over the net.
How can I return these slow and quite high topspin balls and without them smashing my returned ball?

Hi Izzy,
Take a look at this lesson we have on this exact stroke.
Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin. I think this will help.

Crossover Footwork
When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
