Hi PingSkills, i want to ask about the inducement topspin

as when i try to topspin the ball not too hard, she said that it's good as what i do is the inducement topspin or topspin for the first time and wait the opponent to block and then generate a hard topspin

so what inducement topspin is ? as i don't know too much about that. maybe you know what it means

please for the answer :D thank you very much :D

Hi Frendy,

I haven't heard the term used before but I guess it is a slower first topspin to set up a faster next ball.

A slower topspin or opening topspin can be effective depending on the type of player you are playing.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.

but i think if i make a slow topspin it means that will make them easy to return it with fast topspin...

Not necessarily.  A slow topspin can be effective as well.
