Counter Spin
Strokes
Zach Eggleton Asked 9 years ago
I'm wondering how the angle of the paddle should change depending on what spin it is. Can you help?

Hi Zach,
If there is a lot of spin on the ball you don't need to lift the ball at all so you can angle your bat more downwards and play a more forward stroke.
For general spin return the angle of the bat is all important. If the ball is going to the right, angle your bat to the left and so on.

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.
