Returning topspin stroke

Strokes

Tibor Bansky Asked 11 years ago

Hello, I want to ask: How can I return a fast topspin stroke without blocking it? What are the options? Thanks. Tibor

Hi Tibor,

You could try to make a counter topspin. Topspin to Topspin. This is harder but possible, if you move away from the table to give yourself more time.

You can also try to chop it back. Backhand Chop. Again this involves moving back from the table to make the stroke a little easier for yourself.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
