Dear coach

Is any medium-long serving can be forhand-topspinned?

Hi Nabil,

If the ball only bounces once on the table then it is definitely possible.  If the ball is going to only bounce once but it is a bit higher then you will be able to come over the ball and topspin it.  You will need a faster swing of your racket to get the grip to lift the ball over the net.

It is possible.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
