Topspin from near the net
Strokes
Hossam Samy Asked 12 years ago
Hello pingskills,
I was wondering if it possible to make a forehand topspin strike to the balls that are pretty close to the net. Also, I have problems in serving the ball with high spin to make it hard for my opponents, so I would be grateful for any advice.
Thank you very much.

Hi Hossam,
You can make a topspin if the ball is high enough. If the ball is short and low it is difficult to make the stroke.
