Returning high slow topspin
Strokes
Izzy H Asked 13 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.

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.
