Sidespin and backspin long chop
Strokes
Yap Zhi De Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois
How can I return a fast long sidespin+backspin push. My opponent just have a very big action when doing the push and generates this kind of ball.

Hi Yap,
You can still use a topspin stroke against backspin that we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. Just focus on brushing the ball fast and fine to generate a lot of your own topspin. This will help to negate the sidespin that is on the ball.
