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.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
