Hey Alois and Jeff,

Big fan of your website and youtube videos, been improving on my game since i've worked on your training videos.

 Just wondering what is the best way to attack a heavy topspin ,fast,'low throw over the net' service given to my backhand or forehand corner?

Hi Eric,

You can block, counterhit or topspin this ball back depending on the amount of time you have.  The topspin will be most effective if you see the ball early enough.

Because it already has topspin on it you can go forward and really attack the ball. Eventually they won't dare to serve this type of serve to you.  At the higher levels nobody does this serve as it becomes easy to return with a strong topspin.
