Variation in topspin
Strokes
Hao Jun Asked 10 years ago
Hi,
Ever since I mastered the topspin, I have always been doing a really fast topspin to my opponent to quickly end the point as soon as I get the chance.I saw many of your replies in ask the coach to vary the amount of spin and speed.So how do we vary the amount of spin on both our backhand and forehand topspin? Also, sometimes when I do my backhand topspin, it will sometimes fly into the net or go off the end of the table.What should I do? Thanks

Hi Hao,
To vary the spin you can contact the ball slightly more flat rather than brush. Then for speed , just slow the speed of your swing down a little as well.
It is a matter of getting the feel and touch by doing it often and experimenting with angles and contacts and speeds. Eventually you will build up enough information to get the variations you are looking for.
