Returning Sidespin topspins
Strokes
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 13 years ago
How can I topspin against sidespin-topspin? And where's the best place to position yourself?

Hi Lukas,
You need to allow for the sidespin. The sidespin will drag the ball to the left in most cases. It is probably easiest to play it back with sidespin coming around the left hand side of the ball.
Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.

Need I brush the ball bland? Or should I hit the ball with more advance?
Try to get the fastest contact you can and still get the ball on the table.

Huh? On the table? Hmm :DD
You have to be careful that the ball doesn' go off to the side with the sidespin on the ball.
