How to produce sidespin while doing the backhand topspin stroke like the sidespin forehand topspin?
Thanks

Hi Khang,
To do this you need to follow the same principles as with the forehand. Drop or raise the end of your bat to get different sidespins. If you drop the end of your bat the ball will curve to the right. It is a lot about experimenting. Remember though this should not be your standard shot, but rather it should be a variation.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
