Hello Alois

What is going on? If I hit (backspin) into ball and my opponent hit (topspin) into ball, the ball will go down into net?

Hi Peerawit,

This is the effect that the backspin has.  Because the ball is spinning backwards, when it hits the bat it will draw the ball down towards the net or table.

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.
