Topspin againts backspin

Hi coach, 

I have question about how to contact the ball when topspin/loop againts backspin/chop. I brush it in the highest point or wait for when it drop little bit down? Thanks for answer. Wish a nice day. ;)

Hi Thomas,

You can hit the ball in either position.

If you hit the ball at the top of the bounce you can hit it harder because you have a more direct line to the other side of the table.

If you let it drop the ball is falling and your bat is coming upwards which will add to the friction on the ball and the lift that you can get.
