Countering fast topspin

rahul gupta Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois,

Your video shows countering slow spinny topspin by soft block, Punch and counter topspin. Does the same principles apply to the fast topspin too

Hi Rahul,

Yes you can use the same strokes off a fast topspin. The soft block is harder to do when the ball is coming fast. The block tends to go back quite fast.

The punch is a bit easier as long as you react fast enough to the topspin and the counter topspin is a difficult stroke to get right.

Hi Alois,

Hi Rajesh,rni too had the same problem but slowly realised that there is no trick to it. Its just that on fast shots i was not able to sight the ball and thats why i faultered.rnMake it a thumb rule to practice these 4 shots, before playing any matches. Fh to fh counter hit, bh to bh counterhit, fh topspin vs block and backhand topspin vs block.rnOnce you get consistent in the latter 2, you will see the change in your game because you would have practiced the block so many times that the fast topspin wont trouble you a lot as your hand eye coordination is good by then.rn Check the free downloads section and the 7 day trial premium membership. Thats where the real treasure is buried.rnGood luck with practicing.
