About lifting the backspin
Strokes
Ardak . Asked 2 years ago
Hi, coach!
How must be the contacting the ball during BH topspin vs backspin? Do I need to contact as many parts of the bat as possible? Or I need to minimize contacting area and time?
Best wishes, Ardak

Hi Ardak,
Keep it on the racket for as long as you can with a brushing action. The racket needs to grip the ball and lift it over.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
