How to play topspin while being a kid
Strokes
Saifullah Tarar Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
My question is how to play topspin strokes, especially backhand while being a kid. I am 10.5 years old and 5 feet to be precise but often My backhand counterhit or flick is hitting the net so what to do in this position.
Love your videos. Give a response quick.

Hi Saifullah,
The backhand can be more difficult when you are shorter. Think about moving behind the ball and takin git a little earlier off the table before it bounces too high. Once the ball bounces high it becomes difficult to control. If you can't get it early, then wait till the ball drops lower again to hit the ball.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
