Forehand topspin

Strokes

Leonel Barrios Asked 12 years ago

Hello alois,

i wanted to ask you what is the best way to receive a heavy topspin forehand topspin or a forehand forehand

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Leonel,

To receive the heavy topspin you should use the Backhand Block. This is the safest shot to return the ball. If the ball has a lot of topspin and is slow you can look at the lesson on Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

Your feet position
Your start position
Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
