Spin variation
Strokes
lawrence harvey Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois,
On the forehand loop I seem to be very clear how to vary the speed but I have no clue what modification varies the spin. I had asked earlier if you think flexing the elbow gives more topspin?
If not, how do I make the shot more or less spinny ?
thanks

Hi Lawrence,
The contact will give you good variation. A flatter contact will give you less spin and a thinner or brushing contact will give you more spin on the ball.

THE BAT ANGLE SHOULD BE OPEN OR CLOSED?
You can change the angle to get different contacts.
