Faster Topspin
Strokes
steven lin Asked 13 years ago
Hi, I have gotten to the point where I can hit the ball with a lot of topspin quite fast (2/3 of a slam) on a return shot, but I do not know how to improve its consistency. The consistency of the shot is only at at around 60%. Can you explain in detail how to improve its consistency?

HI Steven,
It is important to keep a consistent stroke when you are doing this. If you have developed a good stroke at a reasonable pace then you need to maintain that same stroke and then just speed the action up.
