Hello Alois Sir,

I am a beginner player in table tennis using butterfly wakaba 3000, when i play with one my friend having a style of chopper, I can't return his chop by doing top spin stroke. Every time i do top spin the ball hit directly on the net. I can't understand what is the problem, even how hard i try I can't do that. Please give some suggestion.

Hi Baseer,

It is a difficult shot to start with.  Watch the tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin to get help with it.

Sometimes I find that players don't move their bat fast enough through the stroke to lift the ball over the net.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
