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?

Regards

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.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
