Hi Virabot,

If you are truing to topspin it, then you need to have a vertical stroke and brush the ball fast.  Your racket needs a lot of speed to counteract the backspin.  Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

If you are trying to push it back then tilt your bat right back so it is basically facing the roof.  Then push under the ball and you can even lift your bat slightly with the stroke to help it over the net.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
