Backhand Topsin on Sidespin

Strokes

Dominik E Asked 13 years ago

Hey Alois,

I would like to know, how I can do a Backhand Topspin to a long tomahawk

serve with more or less spin. What techniques do I need to have or what

is important for me to do a succcessful Topspin.

Greetings,

Topfdeckel

Hi Dominik,

The main thing I find is getting good position and balance to make the stroke. Once you do that then work at brushing the ball fast to get the ball spinning in the direction you want it to go.

Use a fair bit of racket head speed to get this right. Don't forget the actual technique of the topspin stroke as well.

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.
