short pimples - attack against underspin (2)

Strokes

rudi laub Asked 15 years ago

thank you for your answer. but it does not work :-( my backhand topspin is too weak and no problem for anyone. so i am looking for an alternative attack system with my pimples against underspin. no problem with counter and block against topspin.

(hope you understand my english)

best regards from vienna (austria)

Hi Rudi,

It is a shortfall of Short Pimples. The other alternative would be to change to reverse pimples and work on our topspin. It is very difficult to lift the backspin ball with short pimples.

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:

Your feet position
Your start position
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.

it is rather unsatisfactorily - sorry

i saw a young french girl, playing against a very good defensive player. she was attacking very hard with her short pimples backhand staith forward and topspins not with pimples on forehand. but she was soo fast, i was not able to follow her movements

Well, I wondered whether does choping back a chop works? I think, if your opponent applies backspin, try backspin against backspin. Try chop back your opponent's chop. Please give me your views whether this is right, thanks.

You can chop back the chop. The only problem comes if your opponent has a good attack against th echop ball, because it is difficult to return the long chop back short.
