Steps to learn topspin

Strokes

Hi coaches! I don't know how to learn topspin correctly. Is it better to learn brushing the ball by doing not low strokes,  then try to do lower spinny strokes?  Or is it better to learn doing low strokes (drive) many times in a row, then slightly trying to brush the ball to do spinny strokes? Or what steps do you suggest ?

Hi Ardak,

I think you can focus on the topspin after you have mastered the counterhit strokes.  The topspin is a small extension of the counterhit by adding a slightly more brushing contact and longer stroke.

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.

Yes this will be a good progression.  Also for the topspin against backspin, start lower and finish higher.
