Topspin from near the net

Strokes

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.

Take a look at these Attacking Short Balls and How do I attack a short ball?
