My forehand top spin doesn't put a lot of trouble to my oponent, how to develop a deadly forehand imposible to return on the table?

Hi,

First start with the basics and make sure you get them right.  Forehand Topspin Against Block.

Then you can think about getting the forehand faster. Advanced Forehand Topspin.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a forehand that is impossible to return but you can sure make it hard for your opponent if you keep working on your technique,

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.

My forehand top spin doesn't seem to be top spin at all and I'm having a hard time making my smash low and over the net.It seems it's not a deadly attack

 

Thanks Ej
