How can I hit a hard topspin far away from the table?
Hi Max,
Take a look at our lesson on theĀ Forehand Topspin Against Block. The further away from the table you are, the bigger your swing can become but the basics remain the same. Often if you are further away from the table the ball will be dropping so you might need to lift the ball up with a more vertical swing. You'll still need to brush the ball to get plenty of topspin so the ball can get enough dip to go up and down onto the table.
The correct table tennis stance provides you with the foundation for power and movement. By keeping your feet wide apart and your knees bent you set yourself up for success. We also discuss where you should position yourself relative to the table.
