Hi!

I'm having some trouble topspinning the ball over the table.

Opponents is backspinning the ball and it always seem to bounce two times on the table but it goes just outside, and I can't play topspin. 

Please help me play topspin on short balls.

Thank you!!

Hi Christian,

Try to let the ball drop off the table and then play a more vertical stroke on the ball.  This will be a little easier.  It takes a lot of time to get the judgement right in dealing with these type of balls.
