What are the steps for a killer spin.

Hi Varun,

To generate more spin on the ball you need to brush the ball on contact.  If you think about the ball like a big wheel you need to turn the wheel using your bat to brush the edge of it.  Once you have mastered the contact then you can work on the speed of the spin by brushing that wheel faster to make it spin around faster.

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.
