Hitting the strokes too hard

Strokes

Hello, 

Jeff & Alois

I am an intermediate player, I am using stiga tube aluminum blade with Rakza X rubbers, I make the topspins too fast they are always on the table as  well as with very good speed & spin. But because of that my training partners are not able to block more than 5-6 strokes at a time or sometimes even less than 5. When I try to hit it slow than I mismatch the timing and not able to hit the ball or make a top spin, what should I consider on it. Is making a powerful topspin wrong or will it effect my consistency. If I might face any other difficulties with this please guide me for that. though my every topspin is on table and is at the same point ( approximately) I wish to hit at......

Hi Jayant,

In a match you very rarely have to hit more than 5 topspins in a rally.

So I would keep practising at that speed, especially if you are hitting them consistently and controlling the placement.
