Generating topspin
Strokes

How do you make a lot of topspin with backhand and forehand?

Hi Lucas,
The key to generating spin is the contcat of the bat on the ball. If you can hit the ball finely you will generate topspin. To generate more topspin the contact needs to be faster.
If you think about trying to spin a wheel around if you tap it slowly it will spin slowly, if you tap it fast it will spin fast. Same applies here.
Let us know how you go.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
