When does topspin stroke have any forward movement, i mean when do you move your arm forward towards the ball and when just vertical? thx in advance

Hi Sally,

When the ball has backspin or you want to play a slower topspin the stroke can be more vertical.

When the ball has topspin or you want to play the ball faster you can move your arm more horizontally.
