Hi Andrew,

You need to play the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. The more backspin that is on the ball, the more vertical your stroke needs to be to help lift the ball. The other key is to ensure you have a brushing contact.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
