Forehand Topspin
Strokes
Sujeet Kalsekar Asked 7 years ago
Hi coach
I am having a lot of problems playing the forehand topspin against a plain ball. My practice partner is a chopper using long pimples.I am very good at topspinning against his heavy chops,but when it comes to a no spin ball or a push I hit the ball out .What could be my problem.Its become a mental block for me now.please help.The problem is I'm hitting easy balls out of the table.

Hi Sujeet,
Work on changing the angle of your bat. Turn it more over the top of the ball and make sure you are still brushing the ball with topspin. You may also be tightening your shoulder when playing this stroke. Focus on keeping the shoulder relaxed.

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.
