hi alois,
the advice you gave me previously about the bh topspin was really useful and now i have improved my consistency a lot. i was watching your video on bh topspin and noticed the part u mentioned about a controlled backhand topspin and a fast one( a little more horizontal swing). can u please tell me more about this fast topspin?
much appreciated!

Hi Sripathi,
Take a look at the video response we have on How can I practice power shots? I am sure this will help even more. The principles apply for both forehand and backhand.
