Difficulty in doing top spin
Strokes
Baseer Uddin Asked 8 years ago
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.
