Hi Ivann,

You could try relaxing your hand, wrist and forearm.  To be able to play a full topspin stroke you need to allow your arm to come through fully which is difficult with a tight hand.

Start by focusing on the bat getting through to the finish position.  THen try to get it there with less effort.

Let me know how it goes.

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.
