How to respond a topspin
Strokes
Hector Vallejos Asked 11 years ago
Hi guys!
I'm looking for a instructional video on how to respond to topspin guys.
I use to respond by smashing with as much spin as I can, but mostly I get the ball to fly far beyond the table (back). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help

Hi Hector,
You are probably trying to do too much. A goo first response to their topspin is to make a Backhand Block or Forehand Block.
If you start with this and get consistent with it then you can start to think about getting a bit more aggressive with your response.
Eventually you may try to make the Topspin to Topspin stroke.
