I am a backhand player... How could I make the ghost spin and a powerful backspin ?

Hi Adnan,
To get the ghost spin or a heavy backspin on the ball you need to brush it right at the bottom and finely. The next thing is to not get too much forward momentum so that the ball can stop easily and come back to you. Giving the ball a bit of height helps with this as well. Take a look at our lesson on How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.

What is the best racket and the best rating for doing the ghost spin ?
There is no best racket. Just find a racket that suits you. We recommend the PingSkills Rook as a first good bat or the PingSkills Touch as a custom made bat.
