Generating both spin and speed

Strokes

I can do a slow topspin or a fast ball with no spin but I cant seem to combine both without it getting inside the net.

Do i need to close the angle more? my swing need to be more forward?

Hi David,

If the ball is going into the net a lot then try to swing with a slightly higher finish and also brush the ball to generate more topspin.

By using a very similar stroke to your normal topspin and then increasing the speed of your swing you will generate more speed.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
