High topspins

Strokes

Oliver Asked 14 years ago

Dear Alois and Jeff,

I see a lot of people hitting very high topspins that go also quite fast. What are the advantages of this and how do you do it?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,

The higher the topspin then the ball must be slower because it is travelling a longer path. You can still get it quite fast though. The more topspin you get the faster the ball will dip down. Concentrate on a good topspin action and then play around with heights of the trajectory of the ball.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
