cant hit topspin on backspin
Strokes
Prashant Keswani Asked 15 years ago
Hi Sir, I have been playing table tennis for the last year and a half.. I brought a Table about a year ago.. but the table seems to be on the slower side.. The ball grips alot and spins too much.. it is almost impossible to hit topspin against backspin or chop.. i saw your videos on how to hit the topspin against backspin but that also doesn't seem to work either.. the ball hits the net or just dies on the table after hitting the bat.. so can you please suggest some techniques on how do I lift the ball so that it goes on the other side...
Regards,
Prashant Keswani

Hi Prashant,
It could be that your rubber has no grip on the ball if the stroke is not lifting the ball over the net.
Try rubbing your finger across the rubber. If it feels slippery then the rubber is probably dead.
If not, think about the angle your bat is on during the stroke. Open the face of the bat up to allow you to lift the ball higher.
Try these two things and then let me know.
