Backspin

Strokes

Tobias Larsson Asked 11 years ago

When it backspin on the ball, can I have more open racket and touch the ball on the hit?

Hi Tobias,

When the ball has backspin, you can open the angle of your racket more to lift the ball over the net. You can do this with either a push or a topspin stroke.

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.
