Hi Alois. I saw one of the Zhang Jike's games and when Ma Long smash the ball to him he topspined the ball. It's to difficult. Can you give me some advice?

Hi Ali,

This is an advanced skill to be able to time the ball well and react fast enough to make this stroke.  Focus more on the basics than trying to make these sorts of strokes.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
