Forehand topspin
Equipment
jack neo Asked 13 years ago
Hey coaches, i use the hurricane 3 neo on my forehand and don't seem to have a good brushing contact when playing a topspin. Hence, i put many balls long. Do you need come more forward with the stroke and really brush the ball to dip it onto the table?

Hi Jack,
Perhaps the rubber is lifting the all too much. You could try to angle the bat down a little and brush more over the top of the ball. This will keep the ball going forward and dipping onto the court.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

With a harder sponge and grippy top you can come over the ball a bit more.
The Chinese are still spinning the ball and brushing it on contact. It may look like a flat contact but they are really ripping the contact.
