if the ball comes on backhand then should we hit backhand topspin or forehand top spin
Hi Sid,
This is a matter of preference.
Players with very strong forehand topspins and weak backhands may choose to move around and play that ball with their forehand. However, if you can develop a backhand topspin this saves a lot of running around and gives you some time.
If you have a lot of time, most players will step around and play a forehand topspin.
It is all a matter of how stong both your sides are and how much time you have.
The backhand topspin off a topspin ball is one of the hardest to learn in table tennis. Learn how once you know how to play the backhand topspin you can master this shot and play some great backhand counter topspins.
