Hi Alois,

1. Can u tell me when we do more vertical stroke and when we do a more forward stroke in performing a topspin stroke ?

2. Would you also show me the angle of the bat regarding my questions in number 1 ?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

To get more speed you can swing more forward and for a slower spinner topspin you can swing more vertically.

We do have a Premium Ask the coach video response to this. Forehand Topspin Bat Angle which will talk about the angle that you require and how to get it right.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
