Bat Angle

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey,

I've recently started to play some players who can generate a lot of topspin, and I'm having problems countering the topspin.

I try to turn my bat angle over to counter the topspin, but I often hit the ball with the edge of my bat because it's turned too over.

Some players also tell me not to turn the bat angle over.

So how should I counter heavy topspin?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

Take a look at our lesson on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
