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.

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